This Alice in Wonderland Open Book Necklace by Alex Monroe transforms a literary classic into an intricately engraved miniature volume. The tiny book opens to reveal the words “Curiouser and Curiouser,” turning the pendant into an interactive object whose most recognizable message waits inside. Sterling silver provides the structure, while 22-carat gold-plated details highlight selected elements and add the character of a treasured edition. Created with the V&A for its Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser exhibition, the limited design celebrates imagination and discovery. Wear it alone so the opening mechanism, cover engraving and concealed quotation can be appreciated at close range.
Born in London, Alex Monroe has spent more than three decades transforming the quiet beauty of the natural world into intricately detailed jewelry. Founded in 1987, the eponymous brand draws on Monroe’s childhood in the Suffolk countryside, where a fascination with plants, animals and the changing seasons first took root. From delicately rendered wildflowers and woodland creatures to the much-loved Bumblebee necklace, his designs possess a distinctly British charm, balancing whimsy with remarkable craftsmanship. Each piece begins with Monroe’s hand at the workbench, creating jewelry that feels intimate, characterful and wonderfully alive.
Handmade in sterling silver with 22-carat gold-plated details. The opening book pendant was created with the V&A and reveals the engraved words “Curiouser and Curiouser.”
