The Bite Magazine Issue 17

Cassandra Goad Jewellery bite jewellery I t may seem a bit naughty wearing spar- kles during the day but sometimes you have to play against the rules. Whilst diamonds are perfectly at home come cocktail hour, they can seem a little too ostentatious before evening, no matter how strong the desire to pull out a tiara may be. But like eating chocolate for breakfast or indulging in the merlot well before five o’clock, the festive season is the perfect time to break the rules and indulge in the inappropriate. My adored solitaires have been enjoying many a breakfast meeting over the last few weeks and slowly but surely, the spar- kles have been creeping onto my wrists, my ears and snaking around my neck. Because really, why should engagement rings have all the fun? Diamonds are not just for dinnertime! My current go-to for all things jewelled and breathtaking is the inimitable Cassan- dra Goad. Having been in the business of the prettiest jewels since 1985, her Sloane Street store is a Mecca for those with a penchant for sparkles. Her style is unique, combining traditional jewellery making methods with contem- porary designs and settings, making for beautiful yet wearable pieces that are perfectly comfortable for the demands of a modern wardrobe. Fans of the brand include celebrities and royalty alike and as colourful and covetable as her pieces are, it’s not hard to see why. If pulling the ice out of the safe feels a ‘little devil may care’ for your day-to- day commute then fear not. Cassandra is truly passionate about gemology, a trait that is reflected in the diversity of gemstones used in her pieces. A palata- ble mix of the rarest and most colourful, ThroughoutTheDay Gina Gill gets to sparkle throughout her day with exquisite gems from Sloane Street jeweller Cassandra Goad. Sparkle
