Alex Monroe Picnic Hamper Necklace

For a uniquely British take on vintage-inspired jewellery, look no further than South London designer Alex Monroe.

The Picnic Hamper Necklace is part of Alex's newest collection, inspired by the rural idyll of British summertime and the traditional English pursuits of bicycle rides and picnics.

The gold-plated wicker hamper opens to reveal a silver plate packed inside and three further charms, a bottle, a glass and a plate, on silver chains. You can wear the necklace closed or open to reveal the treasures within.

The necklace is made of sterling silver and 22-karat gold. It costs £300 and is available from net-a-porter.
