Il Leone Medallion Gold-Plated Necklace

Alighieri's jewelry is inspired by the iconic Italian poem Divine Comedy - this necklace references a particular verse where Dante is confronted by a lion. Threaded onto a 16-inch chain, this gold-plated piece has been crafted in London from an antique Venetian coin, restored with wax and designed to be worn as a reminder to be courageous.
