Discover Cassandra's selection of sparkling jewels curated to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.
I have always been fascinated by regalia and over the years I have released a number of crown pendants that explore their rich heritage. To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, I have created a St Edward's crown and reissued a small number of crowns from previous collections.
Coins are a compelling medium for creating jewellery and I love to think up new ideas for celebrating their emblematic engravings in my designs. Over the years, treasured coins have become centrepieces to bracelets, necklaces, pendants and cufflinks.
My latest addition are my cufflinks made from 20p and 5p coins from the reign of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, a commemorative hallmark of the King's head has been approved and we will be hallmarking all our pieces (where possible) with this mark from March 1st 2023. To find out more click here.

Amethyst has been a prized gemstone for centuries and is included in royal collections all over the world, from ancient Egypt to the British crown jewels. Monarchs proudly wore amethyst necklaces and amethyst rings because the stone's unique mix of rich red and purple hues were considered royal colours.
