The Unwinding Constellations Gold-Plated Choker

The sculptural form of Alighieri's The Unwinding Constellations choker echoes the winding path that the narrator takes through hell, purgatory and heaven in Dante's 14th-century poem the Divine Comedy. It's handmade in London from 24kt gold-plated bronze, using an artisanal lost-wax casting technique with large curved links.
