Qut'b Minar ring in 18ct white gold. One place I had struck off the list in Delhi was the Qut'b Minar, an Islamic building from 1199, but at the end of the first day I realised I had to visit it. The plethora of inspiration in the marble friezes was overwhelming.
Inspired by a marble frieze in the Qut'b Minar, Delhi, India. From the Journey to India.
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.
This year marks 35 years of Cassandra Goad and to celebrate Cassandra has delved deep into her jewellery archives to re-discover her most celebrated designs, to re-create each one into either its original form or re-imagined into unseen versions.
