The Crescendo 24ct Gold-Plated Bronze Necklace

You might’ve been subject to “Divine Comedy” in school, but we’ll bet you never thought the epic could inspire jewellery. Enter: Alighieri. The Hatton Garden-based label looks to Dante’s poem for pieces like The Crescendo necklace. It’s crafted from gleaming 24ct gold-plated bronze with a signature abstract pendant suspended from an elongated cable chain. The crater on the amulet is said to represent the beginning of reveries and magical nights.
