22 Jewellery Designs Inspired By The Sea
Spring is coming and we're excited for pops of baby blues, greens and gorgeous handmade jewellery designs!
Over on Kernowcraft's Facebook page, we asked you to share your jewellery designs inspired by the coast and wow, you shared so many amazing photos! Living in Cornwall, every day we are inspired by our surroundings, whether that's picking up sea glass while strolling on the beach or taking photos of the rugged cliffs along the north coast.
Below, we're sharing our favourite customer designs, from sea glass necklaces, metal clay designs to using briolette beads. We hope it gives you a little inspiration and you find some amazing jewellers to follow too! Don't forget to check out The Coastal Collection, with our top picks for your beach themed designs including beads, gemstones, charms, threads and more...

Art Clay Silver
This amazing Art Clay Silver can be moulded, sculpted and formed just like modelling clay and can be fired, in most cases, with a gas torch or even on a gas hob (alternatively in a kiln).
A total contrast... a pair of orcas made from silver clay.
We love collecting sea glass from Suffolk beaches to then turn into jewellery. I just love the beach and would love to hear the stories that these pieces of sea glass could tell us of their journey. Love sea glass.
