Pesos drop earring in 9ct yellow gold - Inspired on the Mexican currency known as pesos.
The Spanish had introduced the eight piece and the peso comes from this old coin. From Cassandra's travels in Mexico
Pesos
The original Mexican currency was the peso. For her "Ola Mexicana" collection Cassandra's fascination with coins - that started with her Croesus collection in 1992 - continues. In the Pesos design coin 'circles' of gold sheet are cut out individually and literally 'stitched' together with fine chain. The necklace length can easily be adjusted to suit different necklines. Polished on one side, the necklace can be reversed to reveal the matt side.
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 regularly 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.
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.
