Orpheus 9ct yellow gold bracelet set with eight facetted red garnet. Inspired by the story of Orpheus and the Underworld. From Cassandra's Classic collection.
This bracelet measures approximately 7.5 inches long.
The design for the Orpheus bracelet was inspired by the story of Orhpeus, descending into the underworld to rescue Eurydice. The eight transparent stones of the bracelet represent the water he dived into, and eight being a lucky number reminds the wearer to be patient - a quality that Orpheus needed to work on.
Gold is a metal that Cassandra loves to work with, it takes a wonderful pátina with time. Cassandra has the skill of knowing which carat, strength and durability of gold to use, where stone setting is concerned, so that jewels last and look beautiful for generations. Sourcing gold and other metals responsibly from people who have the same ethical vision as herself is particularly important, and she encourages transformations from old unworn jewels in to new sparkling pieces. When receiving jewels from Cassandra Goad, you can be assured that only the highest quality gold is being used.
If you would like to have this design crafted bespoke for you in another metal - silver, white or rose gold - please contact us and we will be delighted to make this for you.
All Cassandra Goad Jewellery is designed and made in our workshops in London.
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.
