Gold-plated Deceptive North Star Necklace

Gold-plated Deceptive North Star Necklace

The Deceptive North Star necklace Gold-plated compass pendant Fine trace chain Spring clasp fastening COMPOSITION & SIZE 24ct Gold-Plated Bronze Chain L: 41cm Pendant Dia: 2.5cm The Deceptive North Star necklace is a signature gold-plated design from Alighieri - the London-based jewellery brand named after the renowned Italian poet, Dante, and inspired by the designer's literary background. Alighieri's Land of the Lawless collection showcases a range of unusual, disruptive pieces inspired by the lawless souls in Dante's epic poem, the Divine Comedy. The Deceptive North Star necklace features a compass-inspired pendant with the North arrow pointing in the wrong direction to confuse the traveller. A modern heirloom, it is an ultra-wearable statement piece that can be passed from generation to generation. After graduating from Oxford University in 2012, Alighieri founder Rosh Mahtani dreamed of creating modern heirlooms based on the French and Italian literature she had studied. Two years later, Alighieri was born. Named after the renowned Italian poet, Dante Alighieri, every piece is inspired by one of the 100 poems in his 14th century epic, the Divine Comedy. A brand firmly rooted in literature and travel, the designs are battered, imperfect and a little bit melancholy, with each one crafted sustainably from gold-plated recycled bronze through the process of lost-wax casting. From whirlwind adventures and mythical creatures to scraggy landscapes and passionate mistakes, each one has its own story.
