Arbol de la Vida
The ceramic Mexican Tree of Life is one of my earilest memories of Mexico. In Tiburcio Soteno's workshop in Metepec, there was every sort, in every size at every stage of creation. I liked his versions painted white, which made you look at the shape. He curves the flowers and the birds and so it was with that I made my Arbol de la Vida, in gold and sprinkled with a few diamonds.
Yellow Gold
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.
