The goddess of love - Astarte, or Venus - is revered at Erice near the western coast of Sicily. It was there that Daedalus was tasked to make a golden honeycomb for the goddess. Honeycomb - and therefore bees - are inextricably linked with Sicily. So, Cassandra named this collection Melissae (meaning bee) Di Erice. From the journey to Sicily.

Craftmanship and sourcing
Designed by Cassandra
Cassandra herself designs all her jewels and works closely with her stone cutters and craftsmen throughout the process from design through to creation including on her bespoke projects.
Gemologist
Ever in search of the unusual and rare, Cassandra travels the world to source beautiful gemstones, either in the rough or cut form.
Crafted to perfection
The craftsman works as an artist recreating the design in metal. The jewel is then mounted, assayed, polished and set.
