At Kernowcraft, we have a huge range of pearls that can be used with a range of jewellery designs. We also have an intriguing selection of coloured pearls which could be perfect for the more alternative bride. Take a look below at some great pearl jewellery tutorials - we love how simple pearl earrings are!

On A Budget? Discover Cubic Zirconia...

A wedding is a huge celebration but it can be costly. If you're looking for more affordable pieces for your wedding day, cubic zirconia could be the perfect alternative. The gemstone is man made and is a synthetic crystalline substance, often used as an affordable alternative to diamonds. They're great as they come in a whole variety of colours, so you can choose the best to match your colour theme.

Make Your Own Cufflinks

Grooms usually keep it minimal with jewellery on their wedding day but creating bespoke cufflinks could be a great way to inject some personality.

Our sterling silver cufflinks can be used to mount cabochons in bezel cups or even glue the cabochon directly onto the plate.

Make Your Own Wedding Rings

Making your own wedding rings can be tricky but there are so many workshops you can attend to get some help from a professional jeweller. 

Why not choose a particular gemstone or metal? A great addition to a wedding ring is to add gemstones such as a diamond - take a look at our black diamonds for inspiration.

Another great addition could be engraving dates on your rings - a lovely personal touch which can be done with a professional jeweller.

For the bridesmaid

What better way to thank your bridesmaids for making your wedding day amazing than a personal piece of jewellery made by you?

It's the perfect way to symbolise your special day, giving your bridesmaids a meaningful gift that they can cherish forever.

There are so many options when it comes to designing jewellery, whether you create matching bracelets to wear on the wedding day or an everyday piece such as incorporating the birthstones of each bridesmaids into a bracelet.
