Pina
Inside the 'No Name' hotel in the old colonial town of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico are some beautiful old frescoes. Sitting in the stone courtyard where the sweet smell from jasmine cascaded down the walls, Cassandra sketched out an idea for a pendant. Echoing the roofed sections around a natural pineapple, Cassandra made her pendant and later a ring with repeating polished pyramidal shapes.
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
Craftsmanship and Sourcing
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.
