The Heart Of The Sun Opal Necklace

Alighieri

At Alighieri, they believe in creating forever heirlooms. The elements of this piece are carved by hand, then cast in 100% ecosilver and bronze locally in the UK. 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. The team of Alighieri sources the  recycled ecosilver from Cooksongold, the supplier of precious metals who are certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council. The final piece is hand-assembled with care and love, link by link, by the talented makers. Every step of the process is driven by human beings and their stories, from Dante to Rosh to her A-team… to you.

Opal country of origin: Africa

Story: A primal sun sits alongside a pink opal to set the skies on fire. The Heart of the Sun Opal Necklace is inspired by founder Rosh Mahtani’s early childhood in Africa, playing barefoot under the beating sun. The magic of the pastel hued skies, and the smell of the rain on the hot ground were some of her earliest memories. “After the rain falls…: is a collection of innocence, hope and freedom. The sun and the opal come together as an invitation to return to the pure creative freedom of childhood days.
