Selecting a piece of jewellery is much like choosing a work of art. It’s a deeply personal decision that should reflect your style, elevate your sense of self, and bring you immeasurable joy. Sennen jewellery offers all this and more.
You’re not merely picking out an accessory; you’re investing in heritage, craftsmanship, and the essence of Cornwall itself.
Whether it's handmade Cornish jewellery or a Sterling silver piece inspired by the Cornish coast and the Cornish landscape, this guide aims to help you select the perfect piece for any occasion.
Cornish Jewellery
Cornish jewellery encapsulates both a rich tradition and a legacy of artisanal craftsmanship. These pieces often blend timeless elegance with contemporary design, making them much more than a simple fashion statement.
Sterling Silver Jewellery in Cornwall
While Cornwall is no longer a hub for silver mining, it remains a hotbed of creativity.
Our silver jewellery is primarily designed by local artisans, who draw inspiration from the Cornwall coastline's unique forms and the region's Celtic past.
Whether you opt for a modern design or something with historical significance, Cornish silver jewellery collection offers unique designs suitable for any occasion.
The Timeless Elegance of Celtic Silver Jewellery
Celtic influences are deeply embedded in Cornish history and culture, and this heritage shines through in our range of Celtic silver jewellery.
Featuring handmade, unique designs and intricate patterns like the Celtic knot, these pieces are much more than accessories—they are links to a rich, storied past.
Discovering the Charm of Handmade Cornish Jewellery
There’s something inherently special about wearing a piece that was created by hand by Cornish jewellers.
When it comes to handmade Cornish jewellery, each piece is a labor of love, crafted by skilled artisans who pour their soul into every detail.
Handmade pieces often incorporate traditional Cornish symbols and wildlife, like the Cornish chough or the Celtic knot, marrying culture with craftsmanship. Because these pieces are made by hand, they can be customized to fit personal tastes, making them ideal gifts for special occasions.
The Classic Allure of Gold Jewellery
While silver may be more prominent in Cornish designs, Sennen Jewellery also offers a stunning range of 9ct gold jewellery.
Carefully selected from top UK designers, these pieces either follow a coastal theme or offer timeless elegance. Opting for gold adds a luxurious touch to any ensemble and speaks to the quality of your taste.
The Unique Character of Cornish Tin Jewellery
Cornish tin jewellery offers a unique blend of history and beauty. Our St Justin collection features recycled materials such as shipwreck tin, making truly unique pieces of tin jewellery.
The Beauty of Cornish Bronze Jewellery
Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, carries its own rustic elegance. Our range of bronze jewellery offers an alternative to Gold jewellery without compromising on design or craftsmanship.
The Versatility of Pewter Jewellery
Pewter is known for its bright and silvery appearance, lending itself well to both classic and contemporary designs. Its malleability allows for intricate detailing, making it a popular choice for those looking for detailed handcrafted jewellery at an accessible price point.
Semi Precious Gemstones: A Palette Inspired by the Sea
Cornwall itself may not be a major source of gemstones, but our beautiful jewellery often features stones reminiscent of the colours of sea glass and the sea's hues; colours that mirror the beach, ocean, and coast.
While some local gems like amethyst and quartz can be commissioned, most pieces feature gemstones that reflect Cornwall’s captivating landscape.
Each stone—whether it’s an azure blue topaz or a sea-green amethyst—adds character, beauty, and a sense of individuality to your chosen piece.
