Cassandra recalls seeing beautifully decorated baskets from Sicilian Caretti overflowing with fresh fruit: oranges, lemons and grapefruits. The market sellers had sliced open some of the fruit they call 'agrumi' on their stalls in Corso Umberto. As Cassandra walked down the street the idea of circular slices of fruit in a basket took shape as a possible design. The circles were of differing sizes to reflect the different fruit, and inside a golden circular basket outline. Later Cassandra added stones set into the circles, perhaps a ruby for a July birthday or a peridot for August. From the journey to Sicily.

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.
Ever in search of the unusual and rare, Cassandra travels the world to source beautiful gemstones, either in the rough or cut form.
The craftsman works as an artist recreating the design in metal. The jewel is then mounted, assayed, polished and set.
