Sarah Corbridge PJDIP of Wearnes, a family run jewellers steeped in history, has been designing jewellery and undertaking bespoke jewellery commissions for more than 30 years.

Jewellery made from Cornish Tin & Gold provides an everlasting memory of Cornwall, and also celebrates the 10th Wedding Anniversay which is traditionally associated with ‘Tin’.
The Tin added to Cornish Tin & Gold has been salvaged from the shipwreck SS Liverpool which sank off Anglesey in 1863. This ship shown in the photograph below was carrying Tin ingots smelted by Bolithos, Penzance in Cornwall to Lima, Peru, and is shown colliding with the barque Laplata.
Cornish Tin & Gold and Cornish Tin & Silver are our exclusive fusions incorporating tin mined in Cornwall, so while its gold or silver purity is the same as any 9 carat or sterling silver, its value is unique. Every item of our jewellery contains a piece of Cornwall.
If Cornwall holds a special place in your heart, you may choose from our exclusive range or commission your very own bespoke piece, individual to you.
