The Surreal 24ct yellow gold-plated bronze hoop earrings

If Dante’s lost poet in the Selva Oscura (or “Twilight Forest) was immortalised in glittering 24-carat gold-plated bronze, the results would be Alighieri’s jewellery collections. Echoing the shifting perspectives synonymous with the Land of Lawless, The Surreal hoop earrings are crafted in London’s famed jewellery district, Hatton Garden, from the precious metals. Moulded with a textured finish, they twist slightly as they curve under your lobes.

• 24ct gold-plated bronze, 24ct gold-plated sterling silver posts
• Hoop length 4.7cm, width 1.7cm
