The Rat 24kt Gold-Plated Necklace

Alighieri celebrates the Chinese New Year of the Rat – known for being intelligent, charming and artistic – with this 24kt gold-plated necklace. It is hand crafted in London's Hatton Garden from bronze and hammered for a vintage feel and suspends from an 18 inch gold-dipped chain. Opt for it to pull focus to bare shoulders by framing it with a V-neck camisole.

• 24kt gold-plated brass
• Chain length 18in/45.5cm
• Width of pendant 0.6in/1.5cm
