Shanghai earrings in 18ct white gold with oval facetted green beryl, blue topaz, cabochon aquamarine and prasiolite briolettes set with pave diamonds. Inspired by the bends of the Whangpoo river in Shanghai. From the Journey to China.
Shanghai
The great city of Shanghai is defined by its Whangpoo river snaking around its bends. Cassandra's earrings twist around the facetted, briolette and cabochon cut stones, each pair unique in its combination of colours: soft pink kunzite, green tourmalines and golden citrines. The stones are unrepeatable. From the journey to China.
Blue Topaz
Topaz is an Aluminum fluoro- hyrdroxyl- silicate that occurs in large crystals mostly in Brazil. Its slightly turquoise blue hue, is similar to that of aquamarine. It is perhaps this colour that makes it the stone symbolising friendship and love, honest and fidelity. It is the birthstone for November.
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.
