Cactus small 9ct yellow gold earstuds. Inspired by the round spiked cactus that Cassandra saw growing everywhere in Mexico. These incredible plants that endure and thrive in harsh conditions do so thanks to the ecosystem of their spikes. And so they remind us of the permanence of true love. From the Journey to Mexico.
Each earring measures approximately 13mm tall.
The cactus is a significant emblem of Mexico. However, the challenge of creating a prickle without a spike arose. Shrewdly, Cassandra used the old Victorian technique of setting to add extra sparkle, with deepy engraved sharp lines to achieve this.
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.
