Cactus halo in 9ct white gold set with 6 facetted blue sapphires and 6 diamonds with 9ct yellow gold blue topaz Finita studs. Inspired by the spikes of the Prickly pear cactus so common in Mexico. From the Journey to Mexico.
Each earring measures approximately 16mm in diameter.
These earrings are part of Cassandra's interchangeable collection. If you already own jewels from this collection and only wish to buy part of the earring shown, please contact the showroom on 0207 730 2202.
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.
