The fish is an auspicious symbol in India. I remembered seeing a small jewelled Mughal style fish on my travels and wanted to recreate the Kundan- setting of the emeralds with bright enamels. At first my fish was small, double sided and the recesses for the enamel so small that I decided to leave them unenamelled.

So, then I made a larger fish, enamelling the two sides in varying colours , blue and green, turquoise and green….with a secret compartment that was revealed when it was slid apart.

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.
