Sevilla in the autumn has that golden light that bathes the walls in the afternoons, when the oranges are not quite ready to be harvested and their fruit hangs like small green baubles from the trees. It was on a walk one such afternoon that I came across the smooth angular walls of the Meson del Moro. Dotted all over its plaster surface are small decorated domes, like mini architectural cupcakes, each with a differing pattern. Some carved in the shape of a bird, others take the form of a geometric design. I sat and sketched in the dying sunshine of the day. Those memories and the sketches became small gold and silver 'cupcakes' on my workshop bench. I made Meson Del Moro cufflinks and filled the recesses of the pattern with the bright blue and green colours of enamels.

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.
