AW13: Armour of Life
‘Armour of Life’
Welcome to the Armour of Life, a bold and empowering collection from Lulu Walton that takes inspiration from the ancient spiritual traditions of India. Taking an ‘East meets West’ approach to the designs, Lulu has combined Eastern mysticism with Western minimalism, to create a collection that is full of soul and spiritual symbolism yet remains wearable in today’s hustle and bustle. The Armour of Life is a premium collection of eleven different designs that use 925 sterling silver, 3 micron 24 carat gold-plated silver and semi-precious gemstones such as onyx, turquoise, rose quartz, jade and moonstone alongside decorative enamelling. The names of the pieces in the collection were inspired by a group of girls that Lulu met during her time in Jaipur, where the collection was first bought to life. In a bid to understand the community that was helping to bring her dream to life, Lulu visited Ladli (http://ladli.org), a vocational training centre for homeless or destitute girls in the city that seeks to equip them with life skills (including jewellery making) that will help them to escape the trappings of a poverty-stricken life. She was so moved by how positive and enthusiastic the girls were to their training, that Lulu will be donating £1 from every sale from the Armour of Life collection to Ladli.
“I firmly believe in the saying that ‘too often we underestimate what we are and overestimate what we are not’. The Armour of Life
collection is designed to inspire people to find their inner strength and realise what they are capable of. The strength I am talking about comes from within, and is certainly not reflected by size, so the collection features a real mix of pieces, from gutsy spike designs to pieces
with pretty textured detail and chains that cannot be described as anything other than dainty.”

Tulsi ring bracelet (silver)
The ‘Tulsi’ dagger is inspired by an ancient Indo-Tibetan ritual dagger that was known as a 'phurpa’ or kīla.
The kīla was a ritual implement used in healing rituals to dispel negative energies from the mind in order to administer purification and clarity of thought. Although the energy of the kīla was known for being fierce, wrathful and piercing, it was not a physical weapon, but a spiritual implement, and should be regarded as such.
The Tulsi Ring Bracelet features a 4.5cm dagger on a 3mm band with a 10cm chain attached to a chain bracelet.
