About Our Cob Coins 
What Are Cobs? Read below to find out about our unique cob coins…
Cobs are made from historic Shipwrecked coins found off the coast of Cornwall, shaped and moulded by the sea and sand for hundreds of years. Here in our Falmouth workshop, we produce mounts from White and Yellow Gold in 9 and 18ct to fit around the coins in a way that compliments their natural sea-moulded shape.
We are able to construct jewellery items from Pendants to Rings and Cufflinks. As well as the choice from three different Mount styles, you can choose to add any specific Gemstone or Diamond to your piece, or even contact us with any commission ideas you may have to incorporate these coins! Price on application.
