Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera's on/off love affair is legendary. They filled their life with a dramatic love and exotic colours, painting self portraits and murals that told the story of Mexico. Diego - like any good Mexican - loved his food, so Frida would take him his lunch, beautifully prepared, everyday in a basket. Last of all she covered the basket with a napkin embroidered with 'Mi amor'. Cassandra wanted to capture their love story in a jewel, so she created a golden basket with a handle across the top and placed carefully set jewels inside.
Frida earring pendants in 18ct white gold set with a pair of facetted blue zircons and pave set with diamonds, to hang off 18ct white gold diamond Astrea hoops. Each earring pendant measures approximately 16mm. All pendants sold without chain.

Gemologist
Ever in search of the unusual and rare, Cassandra travels the world to source beautiful gemstones, either in the rough or cut form.
