Capim Dorado earrings in 9ct yellow gold with clip and post. Inspired from the golden straw of Brazil that is often worked into simple geometric and abstract designs. From the Journey to Brazil.
This earring measures approximately 60mm in length.
Capim Dourado
After going to the market one Sunday, and watching a woman make jewellery out of capim dourado, I went back to the work shops and experimented with cutting ribbons of fine sheet and twisting them until I had just the right number of loops and just the right weight to be a comfortable and fun earring.
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 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.
