Aarati Hoops
The circle of life dominates the rituals of daily life in Benares. Before the dawn breaks each day, the burning flames of synchronised hands rotate round & round, over & over, to the sound of chants & bells.

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!
