The Wasteland 24kt Gold-Vermeil Ring

The worn, textured composition of Alighieri’s The Wasteland ring takes inspiration from the infernal depictions in T.S. Eliot’s 1922 namesake poem citing the war-tone landscape of London as a place of refuge. It’s handcrafted at the label’s Hatton Garden’s studio from 24kt gold-plated sterling silver, then finished with a spiralling band.
