Alighieri 

This collection of jewellery has been inspired by Dante Alighieri’s ‘Divine Comedy’. Dante comes to meet the lovers Paolo and Francesca who are trapped in an eternal storm, and without the ability to change their situation, all they can do is dance in the storm. These beautiful earrings explore the way in which we are subject to external forces and reminds us to dance along the way with them. The pearls in these earrings are Baroque and unique, with their own story.

Rosh Mahtani founded Alighieri to guide her through a dark time. Each fragmented talisman is inspired by Dante Alighieri’s own story of being lost in a dark wood. These Modern Heirlooms celebrate the beauty of human imperfection and vulnerability.

Rosh is driven by telling stories through the universal language of jewellery that bring people together by unlocking narratives and embarking on adventures.

Growing up in Zambia, Africa, she spent her childhood collecting “magical” stones and imbuing them with meaning.

Moving to London, aged 9, was the first step in an adventure full of highs and lows. The struggle and grit of her family’s story, drove her to make it to Oxford to read French and Italian.

An outsider in a big world, she fell in love with Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, a story of a poet lost in a dark wood. Alighieri Jewellery was born in 2014 inspired by this journey.
