To celebrate 10 years of Armed & Gorgeous, we’re unveiling new additions to our much-loved Lotus and Bear Collection. A harmonious fusion of timeless elegance and cultural richness. Crafted with passion and precision, each pendant in this collection is a testament to the artistry and spiritual heritage of Southeast Asia. These pieces are intentionally designed to be chunky and weighty, offering a unique and special feel.

Our collection has its roots in the heart of India, where skilled local artisans meticulously handcraft each pendant. We are deeply committed to ensuring fair pay for their exceptional work, helping them support their families and uplift their communities. By partnering directly with these artisans, we not only celebrate their craft but also give back to India, fostering sustainable livelihoods and making a positive impact on the lives of those who create these beautiful pieces.

Embracing sustainability, every pendant in the Lotus and Bear Collection is crafted from solid recycled sterling silver and authentic hand-cut gemstones,  plated in 18k gold and enhanced with an e-coating for added durability and longevity. This commitment to responsible practices ensures that each piece is not only a beautiful accessory but also a thoughtful contribution to the environment.

With every purchase from the Lotus and Bear Collection, you’re not just acquiring a stunning piece of jewellery; you’re also supporting a worthy cause. Ten percent of all profits are donated to an Indian women’s charity, helping to empower and uplift local communities. The charity is Aarti For Girls – a girls orphanage school, and women’s community centre that helps empower, educate, and house abandoned girls in India – as well as helping local women with crafts to make a living for themselves.

The Lotus and Bear Collection transcends mere accessories; each pendant is a work of art that tells a story of cultural exploration and spiritual resonance. Elevate your style and embrace the divine with these exclusive hand-cast treasures that seamlessly blend tradition with contemporary craftsmanship.

Security & Payments
Why you can safely shop with us
At armed & Gorgeous, our secure server encrypts all of your personal information such as name, address and credit card information. We use stipe and paypal to process payments, which are the worlds largest and most secure payment processors in the world - safely processing nearly 100 million encrypted transactions daily.

Gold Standard Security
All transaction information passed from our website is encrypted using 128-SSL certificates. Information is never passed unencrypted and is always signed using SHA hashing to prevent tampering. You can feel secure in knowing nothing passed from our website can be examined, used or modified by any third party. Systems are PCI level 1 - the world's most stringent security certificate, and align with the NIST cybersecurity framework - the gold standard of cyber security.

Internationally recognised encryption and data storage
All data is secured using the internationally recognised SHA 256 encryption standards used by federal agencies. This remains one of the most used and one of the most secure hashing algorithms to date. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper-proof systems, making them all but impossible to extract. There is no direct way to decrypt this. They are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.

Employee access
No individuals within our Armed & Gorgeous or Stripe/Paypal are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Their systems only allow access to most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your card information is secure even from their own employees because the systems never display the full card numbers, and employees undergo strict training every year.
