Bahia earrings in 9ct yellow gold and set with cabochon chrysoprase with posts. The earrings are inspired by the flowers and fruits of the great Amazon. From the Journey to Brazil.
The state of Bahia in Brazil is famous for its carnivals - those great Brazilian festivals of colour. My Bahia design celebrates colour, trapping bold colours of gemstones, like delicious tropical fruits, in its golden cage.
The Greek for golden apple, Chrysoprase is found in Australia. With its bright green body colour, caused by Nickel, Chrysoprase is a highly sought after Chalcedony for its unique colouration and its rarity to obtain large crystals.
This colourful gemstone can be cut in cabochon or as beads, where the vivid apple green hue is very striking.
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.
