Tiny Shield Hoops

Regular price £99.00

Crafted by artisans
Made with recycled metals

Inspired by Aegis, the shield of the goddess Athena, these delicate drop hoops are a modern ode to protection & quiet strength.

Athena's shield was said to carry the power to ward off harm. These dainty coin hoops reimagine that symbol as a subtle talisman for the everyday; a reminder that your calm is your strength and your courage your armour.

Designed to accompany our You Got This pendants, they're the perfect pairing for those who like subtle yet meaningful jewellery. 

Wear them as your daily shield; light, elegant & symbolic of the courage within.

Crafted in thick 2.5 micron 22ct gold vermeil with anti-tarnish barrier

Social impact

This piece has been carefully crafted by a small team of marginalised artisans displaced from West Bengal, who have found sustainable livelihoods through their skill in making beautiful pieces like these.

They are proudly certified by the World Fair Trade Organisation.

Each piece comes packaged in a soft organic pouch, which has been lovingly made by some of Jaipur’s most vulnerable women, who are bettering their lives through the income from the block printing, tassel making and stitching of these very pouches. No two are the same, each one beautiful in its imperfections.

Planet friendly packaging

Packaging is mindfully thought through to be kind to the planet.

In addition to our organic cotton jewellery pouches, your jewellery will come pacakged with tree-free recycled cotton paper care tags, soy based, compostable tissue paper and a recyclable eco postal box made from certified sustainable sources. Even our embossed stickers are wood-free and completely biodegradable.

To help keep your jewellery looking lovely, each piece comes with a soft branded jewellery cloth.

One pouch per order (unless ordering items at risk of tangling such as pendants, which will have their own pouch). If you would like more than one pouch (for gifting purposes) please include in the note at checkout or email hello@loftanddaughter.com

Tiny Shield earrings

Really happy with my silver Shield earrings. I bought them to go with the Athena necklace my daughter gave me at Christmas. They look good together and I hope I’m helping women’s crafts and livelihoods
