St Basil's double ended 9ct yellow gold cufflinks set with cabochon amethyst, garnet, blue topaz and peridot. Inspired by the onion doms of St Basil's Cathedral, Moscow.
From the Journey to Russia.
Inspired by the decorative onion domes of St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. The kokoshniki or Onion domes of the cathedral are the most wonderful sight when you see them for the very first time. Cassandra loved their frivolity, their exotic individual expressions of swirls, pineapple patterns, spirals, complicated geometric nets and, the explosion of colours against the sky. From the journey to Russia.
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 regularly 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.
