In this exquisite range of jewellery created in collaboration with the V&A to celebrate the Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser exhibition, British designer Alex Monroe has taken inspiration from the quirky fun and mystical adventure so well captured by Lewis Carroll. A sense of all things British is key to the collection, uniting the classic eccentricity of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with Monroe’s familiar themes of nature and wildlife; mice nestle in the hedgerows, secret gardens bloom with roses. Each design is infused with a magical, otherworldly essence to reflect Alice’s fall into Wonderland. 
 
These ornate stud earrings depict the lock and key from the opening chapter of the novel. 
 
Created exclusively for the V&A.
