Crafted by artisans
Made with recycled metals

This radiant coin pendant depicts Tara, goddess of compassion, protection & wisdom, celebrated in Hinduism & a most adored goddess in Buddhism.

Found in many forms with different associations, this portrayal is one of Green Tara, particularly important throughout Tibet. Sat on a lotus flower, one leg folded in contemplation, the other outstretched, Tara is ready to spring into action & offer protection.

Also associated with travel, Tara offers safety on a journey, both physically & spiritually.

Surrounded by the mantra Om Tare Tuttarre, Ture Soha, it is believed the chanting of this mantra can raise your vibration, help internalise Tara’s compassionate and loving qualities & bring an abundance of blessings.

Crafted in solid sterling 925 silver with anti-tarnish finish.

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

So pretty

I have bought a few necklaces from L&D as gifts for beloved friends. I finally decided that I loved them so much I would treat myself. I am so glad I did. My necklace arrived, packaged wonderfully and I was thrilled with my choice. I have not taken Tara off since! I love the symbolism and I love the values and provenance that comes with such a gift. I wasn't sure about ordering in silver but it's really dazzling. x
