Basket 9ct yellow gold earrings. Inspired by the concave spiraling baskets of Morocco. From the journey to Morocco.
These earrings measure approximately 19mm.
Basket
At the beginning of the Marrakech Medina, the snake charmer's basket coils around and around in a spiral like the cobra inside it. I love the magic of natural spirals, the spirals of the Berber palm weavers turning their golden fronds into baskets. And so, I created Basket - a design to celebrate the Berber spiral that begins with its plaited rope that they then spiral into the basket form.
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 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.
