Bahia earrings in 9ct yellow gold and set with grey/ brown moonstone with posts. The earrings are inspired by the flowers and fruits of the great Amazon. From the Journey to Brazil.
Each earring measures approximately 32mm in length.
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.
Extremely fine alternating layers of albite and orthoclase feldspar cause a magical reflection of light within moonstone to give its blue to white 'moon-like' shimmer and translucency. The name for this 'adularescence' comes from the Adula mountain range where moonstones were first found in Switzerland. A moonstone placed under a pillow is said to bring beautiful dreams, especially to those born in June.
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.
