The Aphrodite 24kt Gold-Plated Earrings

These 24kt gold-plated The Aphrodite earrings take their name from the Greek goddess of beauty and fertility, a key source of inspiration for Alighieri's The Roots collection. They're expertly handmade in London's prestigious Hatton Garden with mismatched links that are engraved with a textured finish, representing the virility that stems from contemplation.
