Fire Coral earrings in silver set with diamonds. Inspired by the coral I left drying in the sun on the beach at Celestun (near the long narrow estuary where the pink flamingoes gather ) and along the Mexican barrier reef and Sian Ka'an ( 'place where the sky is born ') biosphere at Punta Allen. From the Journey to Mexico.
Fire Coral
Mexico's beaches reach out to the second largest barrier reef in the world where fish , turtles and dolphins swim freely amongst the incredible corals. The delicate twig like outlines of the corals and their beautiful movement in the currents inspired Cassandra to create the fire coral earrings where small diamonds lie hidden in their gently swaying branches.
Silver
Silver is the most malleable of metals and when freshly polished takes a mirror like shine. All of the sterling silver used in Cassandra Goad jewellery is of the highest quality and crafted in one of our workshops in London. Cassandra always finds her silver from sustainable sources and where possible recycles the metal; never compromising on quality
Diamond
Diamond- from the Greek 'adamas' means the unconquerable and so it is, being the hardest of all gemstones. From yellowish to green, red, pink and blue, diamonds are found in all colours in South Africa, Australia, as well as Namibia, Russia and China.
Craftsmanship and Sourcing
All Cassandra Goad jewellery is designed and made in the
workshops in London.
As a gemmologist, the chemical composition and properties of
gemstones have always fascinated Cassandra. Ever in search of the
unusual and rare, she 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, his interpretation is
vital to the overall feel of the jewel. The jewel is then mounted,
assayed , polished and set. Many of Cassandra's jewels can be hand
engraved with a personal message to make a unique bespoke gift.
