They are being sold by his Noah's Arc Foundation. He says the proceeds benefit after-school programs.
Noah's mother designed the pendant, and he says it isn't just for people in communities plagued by violence.
"It feels great when you see somebody from a different area…whether they are rich or poor or whatever, we are all in this together," Noah said. "This is what this drop represents."
Jackie Crawford is one of the kids wearing the drop. He believes the message of the drop -- peace and unity -- will help stop the violence.
