Tiny Shield Hoops Silver

Inspired by Aegis, the shield of the goddess Athena, these delicate drop hoops are a modern ode to protection & quiet strength.

Athena's shield was said to carry the power to ward off harm. These dainty coin hoops reimagine that symbol as a subtle talisman for the everyday; a reminder that your calm is your strength and your courage your armour.

Designed to accompany our You Got This pendants, they're the perfect pairing for those who like subtle yet meaningful jewellery.

Wear them as your daily shield; light, elegant & symbolic of the courage within.

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.
