The Glimmer of Light Necklace

Alighieri Ltd will pay 100% of the net profits of each item sold to Refuge, a charity registered in England and Wales, number 277424.

The Glimmer of Light Necklace is handcrafted from 24kt gold plated bronze, in Hatton Garden, London.

Pendant length: 2cm 

Chain style: 16 inch gold filled trace chain

In a show of continued support for Refuge, Alighieri will be launching five pieces, one at a time over the next year. Each will represent a decade of Refuge’s work to mark their 50th Anniversary in 2021. 100% of the profits from each necklace will be donated back to Refuge. The first chapter, ‘The Glimmer of Light Necklace’, represents the first decade of Refuge, when in West London 1971, the world’s first safe house for women and children experiencing domestic violence was opened. Until then, domestic abuse was a rarely discussed topic, and declared as a private matter. This piece represents the first window of hope, and opening of a new door for these women and their children. The pendant is signature to Alighieri’s molten and textured style inspired by the depictions in the Divine Comedy. The silhouette of pendant symbolises both delicacy and strength, whilst the textured aperture signifies the moment when the first glimmer of light appeared, in the form of Refuge.

At Alighieri, we believe in creating forever heirlooms. The pendant for this piece is carved by hand, then cast in bronze and plated in gold a stone's throw from our studio in Hatton Garden. The bronze used in this manufacturing process is fully recycled, with all excess metal going back into the cycle of creating tomorrow's forever piece. Each one is then hand-finished with care and love. Our small, family-run caster has been our partner since the very inception of the brand - every step of our process is driven by human beings and their stories, from Dante to Rosh to our A-team... to you.
