Jewellery in Cornwall

Lunula

Jewellery has literally been made for thousands of years, so the jewellers skills are timeless. Evidence of this can currently be found at the Penlee Gallery in Penzance, which is exhibiting a 3500 year bronze age gold necklet found in Cornwall. Known as the ‘Gwithian Lunula’, it is a flat crescent shaped necklet shaped like the Moon. This delicate flat sheet of gold has a geometric design patterned on the edge, and is in excellent condition considering its age.

How did it manage to look good for so long? The higher the carat gold, the more pure it is. Fine gold is unaffected by air, water, alkalis and most acids, so will still look as bright and shiny as the Lunula, even after 3500 years.

Now in stock the 2010 Cornish tin Christmas decoration. For 2010 the decoration is a Sleigh with lots of presents in the back. There has been a different design for these tree decorations every year since 2002, and they make a great collectors item. A popular gift to celebrate a special occasion like the year of a childs birth, each design is stamped on the back with the year it was first produced. Decorate your tree to celebrate Christmas and a special moment in your family.

Cornish granite jewellery

admin — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:24:41 +0000

Cornwall is famous for its granite, either due to its mining heritage or the beautiful coastline which brings so many visitors to the County. Now you can wear a part of that history in the form of intrically crafted pieces of silver jewellery, set with granite which is literally millions of years old. The highly polished silver contrasts with the subtle natural colouring of the granite, to emphasise the shades of pink, white, blues and grey. The photos here show a small sample of our range.
