Star Anise is inspired by the beautiful gardens of Suzhou in China where wisteria flowers cascade the walls, and cherry blossoms fall like confetti over the small pools. And through intricate open 'windows' intriguing vistas are framed. It was through one of these 'windows' with its latticework shaped in a quatrefoil pattern that inspired Cassandra to create her Star Anise design - the shape reminding her of the Star Anise seed pods . From the journey to China.
Star Anise bracelet in 9ct yellow gold with four freshwater pearls. This bracelet measures approximately 20cm. A signature stylistic feature of Cassandra Goad, this bracelet can be joined with another bracelet to make a spectacular necklace.
