Villa Tasca chain necklace in silver with a large trigger clasp featuring five of the finials from the rooftop of the house. Inspired by Villa Tasca, Palermo, which was built in the 1500s and is surrounded by its incredible garden. The finials on the top of the house lent themselves perfectly to be transformed into gold or silver motifs. From the Journey to Sicily.
The necklace measures approximately 35'' in length.
Villa Tasca
The roof top finials on Villa Tasca are swathed in garlands of vines and grapes, telling of the wines of the Tasca family. I spent afternoons in their gardens on the edge of Palmero reading about Sicily and gathering ideas and stories for my collection. And so it was one afternoon, I sketched the urns and made them golden: in a long necklace and cufflinks.
Silver
Silver is the most malleable of metals and when freshly polished takes a mirror like shine. All of the sterling silver used in Cassandra Goad jewellery is of the highest quality and crafted in one of our workshops in London. Cassandra always finds her silver from sustainable sources and where possible recycles the metal; never compromising on quality.
If you would like to have this design crafted bespoke for you in another metal - yellow, white or rose gold - please contact us and we will be delighted to make this for you. In some designs we can also mix metals in the same design.
