Large Pandeiro necklace pendant in silver with spinning zils. The design is inspired by the tambourine that was brought to Brazil by Portuguese settlers and known locally as a Pandeiro. From the Journey to Brazil.
The pendant, including loop, measures approximately 34x30mm.
The pendant is shown here on a Catena Fine 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.
Pandeiro
It was the Portuguese who brought the tambourine to the Brazilians and now the thought of Brazil and its carnival without it seems an impossibility. My golden pandeiro is double sided so you can have any combination of diamonds, or wear it plain if you prefer. I have also made it in silver and in all of them the tiny Zils tinkle as they move and as you move, just as in a real tambourine.
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.
