The Waste Land 24kt Gold-Plated Choker Necklace

Named after a post-WWI poem by T.S. Eliot, Alighieri’s 24kt gold-plated The Waste Land necklace has chunky chains with textured edges which capture the collection's raw aesthetic. It’s handmade in Hatton Garden – the jewellery capital of London – in a traditional process where the precious metal is poured in liquid form into a wax cast.
