"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness"- Desmond Tutu

Engraved with the words Dum Spiro Spero, Latin for When I Breathe I Hope, our beautiful dove pendant was imagined during a time when the world felt heavy, when all we could hold onto, was hope.

Surrounded by an olive branch, this symbol of peace hangs from a vintage inspired hinged bail & a luxurious figaro chain.

Let our radiant Dum Spiro Spero pendant ground you in inner peace, calm your heart & remind your soul to never lose sight of hope.

Crafted in solid sterling silver with anti-tarnish finish.

Part of our Dum Spiro Spero range, £10 from the sale of each pendant will be donated to Plan International UK, a global children's charity striving for an equal world & protecting girls' rights, responding to conflict & climate-related emergencies.

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

Birthday gift for my bestie

I’ve yet to see it in the flesh as we live miles from each other but I had the pleasure of hearing my BFF’s joy at receiving the Dum Spiro Spero necklace for her birthday yesterday, how much she appreciated its provenance and L&D’s ethical approach. She wore it to her birthday brunch that morning, yay! Thank-you 🥰

Dum Spiro Spero Pendant

Beautiful silver pendant and chain. Lovely quality and I like the ethos behind where and how it was made. I really like longer chains so it was lovely to be able to buy the pendant with one. Since losing my husband I am drawn to jewellery with a meaning or words written on it. This pendant was about hope and peace which I loved.
I don't know if you would consider doing a ring with the word Peace written on it ?

Lovely pendant

Lovely pendant. Perfect size for me. I was a bit concerned with the shade of the gold with it being 22ct gold plated. I thought it might be a bit dark, but I needn�t have worried, it looks lovely and more like 14ct gold plating

Order took a while to arrive however it was coming from the UK so I understand. The communication between shop owner was a bit confusing, however I received BOTH necklaces from her with a kind note and they�re absolutely gorgeous. I ordered the dove pendant and was told afterwards it was out of stock. My order didn�t show it was ever shipped but I just received them today! Thank you Katie! ??
