Decimus cuff in silver with beaded ends. From the Journey to Italy.
Decimus is one of my earliest designs of a bold unisex design. As a ring it works beautifully set with coloured enamels in the recess with the gold or silver beads shining through. Or have it in plain gold with diamonds set into the alternating beads. The rings can be worn alone or with my diamond Aeternitas Etoile rings either side. The earring design has a wonderful curl in it when seen from the side. And the simple cuff is the perfect bracelet to wear everyday.
All of the Decimus designs can be engraved with a short message or date.
Decimus was the name often given in Roman and Victorian times to the tenth child.
Silver is the most malleable of metals and when freshly polished takes a mirror like shine. All of the sterling silver used in Cassandra Goad jewellery is of the highest quality and crafted in one of our workshops in London. Cassandra always finds her silver from sustainable sources and where possible recycles the metal; never compromising on quality.
If you would like to have this design crafted bespoke for you in another metal - yellow, white or rose gold - please contact us and we will be delighted to make this for you. In some designs we can also mix metals in the same design.
All Cassandra Goad jewellery is designed and made in the
workshops in London.
As a gemmologist, the chemical composition and properties of
gemstones have always fascinated Cassandra. Ever in search of the
unusual and rare, she 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, his interpretation is
vital to the overall feel of the jewel. The jewel is then mounted,
assayed , polished and set. Many of Cassandra's jewels can be hand
engraved with a personal message to make a unique bespoke gift.
It was the Pisanos, Nicola and Giovanni who drew Cassandra to Pisa . It was the Papal tiaras that drew her to Rome. Naples enchanted her with the marvels of Pompei and glorious handmade pasta inspired the Tagliatelle ring.
