Iris necklace pendant in 9ct yellow gold with aventurine quartz boule (12mm). The petals of the Iris flowers on a lacquer pot inspired this pendant. From the Journey to Japan.
The pendant, including loop, measures approximately 25mm in length.
The pendant is shown here on a Belcher light chain.
All Cassandra Goad pendants are sold without chains so that you may select the chain of your choice, both in style and length. If you would like to add a chain have a look at our selection here.
Japanese paintings often depict Irises or you may find them lacquered on cabinets. It was these designs that I saw on my travels to Japan that inspired my Iris necklace pendant - the small gold tips echoing the fine points at the ends of the flowers.
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.
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.
All Cassandra Goad Jewellery is designed and made in our workshops in London.
Ever in search of the unusual and rare, Cassandra 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. The jewel is then mounted, assayed, polished and set.
