"There was snow falling in Moscow when I visited the Iguminov House. I brushed the snow off the stone window sill with my gloves and lent against it, warming my face in the sunshine as I read Pushkin. It was when I paused for a moment that I glanced across and saw what the brushed away snow had revealed: a trellis pattern carved in the bosse with a twist of rope at the meeting point. I sketched it on the edge of a page, pondered it and once back in the workshop recreated the stone mason's idea in silver and 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 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.
