As the roadmap out of lockdown was announced, and the vaccination programme was getting rapidly underway, we started to work on a new collection for early Summer.

Our beautiful new Crescent Moon necklace brings to life the mantra, ‘I am always whole, even if I do not feel it’. We felt that we needed to create a mantra to express a feeling that many of us have, after suffering loss or trauma.

We have all learnt, more powerfully than ever, that one never knows what is around the corner. One of the many heart-breaking things about the thousands of premature deaths due to the pandemic has been the sense of lost potential, and lives cut short with so many things not yet done.

As the roadmap out of lockdown was announced, and the vaccination programme was getting rapidly underway, we started to work on a new collection for early Summer. One message we absolutely wanted to see come to life in the new collection was a mantra of heartfelt and joyous celebration. Words that would capture the sheer explosive joy that we would feel when the worst of the pandemic was over in this country, and that would really capture the feelings of gratitude and excitement that we have for simply being alive.

It reminds you of your intention to create more balance, as well as celebrating your success in doing so. Read more...

Our Mantra Changes Lives initiative is such a core part of Mantra, as we all believe that part of a company’s mission should be to give back. The Hope Necklace therefore raises funds for NHS Charities Together, with 25% of the sales of this necklace going directly to the charity.
