Tomoe triple earrings in 9ct yellow gold with post and clip. This design was inspired by the Japanese family emblem called Tomoe, the abstract swirl of Tomoe resembles a comma. From the journey to Japan.
Tomoe
The Tomoe design celebrates the hammered work of the Japanese metalsmiths made so famous by the Samurai. Tomoe literally translates as 'comma' and the 'slash' in the Tomoe design echoes this.
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.
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.
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.
Steeped in tradition, elegance and excellence yet controlled and restrained Japan intrigued Cassandra. The collection weaves ancient tea ceremonies, family 'mons' and the symbols of the four seasons into jewels of differing colours of gold that are as timeless as their inspirations.
