Apollonia Pontica is the oldest city in Bulgaria, named "Apollonia" in honour of the ancient Greek god Apollo. Cassandra's Apollonia design is a technically brilliant design, setting square cut stones into a double-sided cushion of gold joined by striated circles of gold. These circles echo the celery stalks she saw on her first day in the vegetable market in Sofia that were bundled up with other vegetables to make a good stock (the essence of all good cooking). Here, those striated circles are the essence of her Apollonia design. From the journey to Bulgaria.
Apollonia 9ct yellow gold bracelet set with ten facetted square cut aquamarines.
