St Justin Jewellery, Penzance
St Justin’s jewellery, gifts and accessories are crafted by hand and eye in Cornwall, made from pewter, bronze, silver, Cornish tin jewellery. The tin they use for their jewellery comes from a ship wrecked in 1863. It was originally smelted in Cornwall and carries an ancient pedigree not to be found elsewhere. Celtic crosses are a strong part of their collection as there are so many granite versions to be seen in Cornwall. They craft pendants, earrings, brooches, kilt pins, buckles and hair slides. St Justin jewellery is not only a re-creation of the past, but a continual evolution of living art created by craftsmen for the people of today.

Emily Nixon, Hayle
Living in West Cornwall has shaped the work Emily makes. The sculptural forms and textures of the coastline are a constant fascination; she loves the fabric-like twists and folds of seaweed, the diversity in the contours of pebbles, the weathered character of flotsam she sees washed up along the shore. This dichotomy of the precious and the organic – special stones encircled by sea worn fragments of silver – characterises so much of her inspiration. At the heart of her work remains the sculpture and tapestry of her early practice. Emily has a fabulous collection of rings finished at the studio so get in touch if you can’t find your perfect ring on her website, and she will be glad to help.
