Our signature rocky texture is a symbol of strength and courage. As Dante Alighieri travels through the Inferno and up the mountain of Purgatory, he goes through many ups and downs. The journey through the scraggy landscape is full of challenges. However, it is the the rocks of experiences he collects on his way that allow him to break through teh icy depths of hell. Carry your letter to tell your story to express your own identity on your adventures.

At Alighieri, we believe in creating forever heirlooms. This talisman 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.
