Nivara Gemstone Amulet Pendant

For centuries, the people of the Himalaya turned to amulets as symbols of refuge & protection. Small vessels once filled with sacred words & remedies, they were believed to hold protective power from the inside out.

Our Nivara Amulet is the latest interpretation of our best selling Secret T Bar Amulet.

Set with striking red garnet gemstones, long believed to symbolise strength, vitality & protection, it carries the spirit of the original design, but in a new form.

Unlike the original, the Nivara is non-hollow, meaning you can't keep anything inside. Instead is offers the same sentiment of a protective talisman without requiring extra care.

A piece to wear daily as a reminder that you are held, healed & protected.

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.
