L'Aura Chapter III 24ct Yellow Gold-Plated Bronze Choker Necklace

Based on the prestigious Hatton Garden, London, Alighieri isn't a traditional jeweller – but it sure likes the classics (and by "classics", we mean classical tales from Dante’s Divine Comedy). Take the L'Aura Chapter III choker necklace from the Roots collection; this molten-link piece – cast with 24-carat yellow gold-plated bronze – takes its cues from the bulbous seed shapes where the roots of the Ancient Forest begin to grow... the pendant being the seed.
