At Cassandra Goad a crown is made each year inspired on Cassandra's travels. The modest and elegent Finnish Crown was inspired by a small Finnish Crown charm Cassandra found on her travels to Karelia, while the opulent Danish Crown was inspired by that of King Christian V of Denmark during her travels across Scandinavia.
