Towards better things, through adversity, to the stars...
Our enchanting spinner pendant is here to remind you that the night is always darkest before the dawn. A moon against the night sky on one side, the words Ad Astra Per Aspera, Latin for through adversity to the stars, grounds us in the reality that life is often far from perfect. But just like the moon, we are never stuck in one phase, moments will pass.
Turn the pendant over to reveal brighter days ahead. Our radiant sun beams the words Ad Meloria (towards better things), bringing endless possibilities with each breaking of the dawn.
Styling note: There are 4 possible ways to wear the pendant- moon left, moon right, sun up & sun down. Ensure the position of the sun is facing upwards when facing away from the body, this way your sun will always fall in the correct position as you spin it when worn.
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.
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

I love all the pieces that Loft & Daughter do and this one didn't disappoint. I've layered it with lots of other L&D necklaces and it looks gorgeous. People always ask where they're from or tell me how lovely they look. I'm very happy.
I bought ‘She Who Has Courage’ pendant for my daughter. Fantastic service throughout! Super fast delivery, gorgeous packaging and an absolutely stunning piece of jewellery. But most of all, the message behind the pendant fills you with warmth.
Beautiful piece that I haven't taken off since buying. Just the design I was looking for. I love Loft & Daughter - pretty pieces with a mission to do good
Absolutely love these earrings! My 4th order from Loft and Daughter and the shopping experience is second to none! Very smooth, beautifully packaged and a personal thank you too! Will certainly be purchasing more from this fantastic business!
Customer Reviews
I bought the Ad Astra Pendant, it’s so beautifully crafted! It was delivered quickly and the packaging is beautiful too. This pendant is really going to be my go-to piece of jewellery.
Fabulous quality as usual with this brand. I love the extra detail on the chain, looks great worn alone or my personal choice with a couple of other pendants.
