"May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears"- Nelson Mandela

According to Greek mythology, when Pandora's box was opened, releasing all the troubles of the world, the only thing to remain inside the box, was hope, otherwise known as Elpis. There are many interpretations of this myth, but our radiant goddess, surrounded by an olive branch and the Latin word for hope, Spero, serves as our reminder to always hold on to hope.

(Please note campaign imagery shows our Elpis pendant in gold. Silver model images will be available later this year)

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.

In 2016, Katie quit her job in Sydney as a women's clothing buyer for a fast fashion retailer. Here, on the frontline of fast fashion, she sat at the many negotiating tables from Shanghai to Delhi, pinching to the last cent. Always pushing for cheaper, faster, for the massive volumes that would eventually find their way to landfill, Katie eventually realized she was part of a huge problem with this. She changed course and started jewelry brand Loft & Daughter, with which Katie wants to show that you can also give back to people with a fashion company.

Ethically produced: The jewelry is fairly made in Jaipur, India. The organization is WFTO (Fair Trade) certified and provides training and employment opportunities to vulnerable or displaced artisans. All items are made by hand using slow, traditional craft techniques, not in large factories.

Eco-friendly:  Where possible, the label uses recycled silver, in addition to 22kt gold vermeil. Loft & Daughter also uses GOTS certified organic cotton with natural pigments. The workshop runs on solar energy.

Vegan: The items are vegan.
