The Artist's Disciple
Paying homage to the talented craftspeople that came before us, The Artist's Disciple features a collection of traditional Rajasthani vintage amulets which were hand-selected for their beautiful craftsmanship as well as deeper meanings. Traditionally these auspicious amulets are worn for protection, spiritual significance & good fortune. Featuring from left to right;
- Feet of Vishnu- in Hinduism, Vishnu is the world's protector and preserver, restoring balance when needed
- Surya, sun god, the soul & source of all life
- Ashta Matrikas, or 8 Mothers, a group of divine mother goddesses who prevail over darkness
- A Sanskrit blessing
- Kali, goddess of time & destroyer of evil
These radiant charms hang from a chunky rolo chain. A statement piece on it's own or layered with other pendants for a truly unique necklace stack.
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
