“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.

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.
