Ad Astra Pendant Silver

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 Meliora (towards better things), bringing endless possibilities with each breaking of the dawn.
Choose between a 52cm or 60cm chain (model wears 60cm)
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.
Crafted in solid sterling 925 silver with anti-tarnish finish.

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

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.
The Ad Astra pendant is my first purchase from you and it is simply stunning. I love the design, I’m always drawn to celestial jewellery and as my husband served for 37 years in the RAF, the meaning behind the words was very special. The chain looks delicate but feels strong and the length is perfect too.
Gift to self and so pleased with my own gift!
