Our
lovely Hand and Heart Necklace represents the mantra, ‘You give a hand to
hold, a heart to care’.
It
is intended as a message of deep appreciation for someone who has been there
for you, or for a loved one, through life’s challenges. Someone who cares
deeply, and gives support, encouragement and help when you need it most.
It
might be your mum, or a family member; it could be a good friend; or it could
easily be a good Samaritan or professional carer, who has crossed your path in
an important and meaningful way at a time of need.
Perfect
gift of appreciation for someone who has helped you, or cared for a loved one |
a loving gift for a caring friend | a reminder of your own loving nature
We
have brought this powerful mantra of appreciation to life with a design
inspired by the Ahimsa symbol – usually, a hand with a spiral. Ahimsa
means 'do no harm’, and is a philosophy of non-violence, compassion and
love. It is embraced by Buddhist, Hindu and Jainist traditions, as well as
being adopted as a contemporary symbol for an ethical way of life.
We
have added a heart design to the hand, to combine the two things we need most
when life is tough – a helping hand, and the power of love.
This
is part of our 2021 collection, launched in the wake of the Coronavirus crisis
and our on-going recovery from it. There have been so many extraordinary
examples of kindness and compassion, and we wanted to create a mantra to reflect
that outpouring of goodness. But its message of love and care is relevant at
any time, and for any reason, as it celebrates the kindness and care of a truly
special person.
Choose
the ‘Hand and Heart’ mantra as a gift of thanks and appreciation for a friend
who has helped you, or to pay tribute to someone whose love and compassion have
stood out for you. Or buy it as a reminder to yourself of your loving nature,
and your passion for helping others.
Hold onto your necklace through the day and bring
its mantra to mind. Repeat its gentle mantra when you need a reminder of love
and kindness.
