Our Favourite Customer Designs Of 2024

Caitlin Haughton: I had some spare time one day and decided to try water casting and found it released a new found excitement for involving my inspiration into the making process. Bringing elements from my local terrain into the making was something I fell in love with since researching, through case studies, for my dissertation and was a continuing theme in this collection. I used rock forming (with rocks chosen from the terrain), water casting (using sea water collected from coastal walks) and other techniques such as reticulation to replicate natural textures. All the rutile quartz stones I used within my ‘Appledore Skern Collection’ were bought from Kernowcraft.

brotherbanquoandqueen: "Love is in the details. Otherworldly and ethereal. Organic and textured. Sterling silver, copper and brass with an incredible labradorite from @kernowcraft Isn’t it completely stunning?

Zoe on her style: "I wanted to make my own jewellery from my illustrations, my characters and their stories. The first piece of jewellery I made on my own was a talisman of me holding my unborn son, complete with my mullet! I was so proud of that!"

Silver Pickle Jewellery: "This spinning ring is for all gold lovers out there. The base ring had little flowers stamped on the surface, was made by me about 5 years ago and has been worn every day. 2024 brought about an idea to give it a new lease of life for many more years of wearing and enjoyment. Adding two dotty rings, and one smooth ring turned this ring into something pretty spectacular. I don't think I have ever seen a triple spinning ring that glowed quite like this one."

Trudi Sycamoon: "Sterling silver metal clay oak leaf pendant crafted with intricate detail and adorned with vibrant gemstones, it’s a perfect blend of nature-inspired elegance and sparkle."

@elizabethrosedesinz: "This gorgeous design features a captivating Moss Agate centrepiece, beautifully set in sterling silver. To enhance the natural beauty of the stone, the setting is complemented by three delicate silver balls on either side, adding balance and a touch of elegance to the piece."

@elizabethrosedesinz: "This delightful piece showcases a hand-pierced sterling silver daisy, carefully crafted with precision and attention to detail. At the heart of the flower sits a sparkling tube-set lab-created garnet, adding a vibrant pop of deep red that beautifully contrasts the silver's polished finish "

@sunfishsilver:⁠ "A silver sand-tiger shark tooth pendant! This is a silver clay cast of a circa 50 million year old fossil tooth from the extinct sand-tiger shark Striatolamia macrota found on the Essex coastline!""

@seasoulandsky: "Moon and Stars Spinner Ring. The 90’s girl in me is absolutely in love with this ring!! If you were a child in the 90’s (at least in the UK) you, your friend, or both of you would have had a moon and stars bed set or curtains, I think it was the law."⁠

Lucy Spinks Jewellery: "Gold detail wraps around the silver band on this ring. The detail is inspired by lichen forms, pixie cup lichen to be precise. I like designing surface patterns for rings, tiny little drawings made in metal that will last forever, like the pieces dug up in treasure troves!!"

destinctlydevine: "This is my favourite diamond piece made recently. ⁠Part of a stacking set, the 3mm faceted diamond is set in a 9ct Rose Gold cup and set on a Sterling Silver band. A custom request from our customer. ⁠The diamond ring sits alongside 2 other Sterling Silver rings, one holding an aquamarine stone, and the milk drop halo holds the customers own breastmilk pearl."

Siobhan Cornish: "These adorable little textured discs are a perfect blend of simplicity and charm! Crafted with a delicate texture that catches the light beautifully, each disc is accented with a vibrant pop of turquoise, adding a fresh and cheerful burst of colour."

seasurfrocks: "Just a few of the lovely product shots Katie Louise Photography did for me recently, I had asked her to capture some of my wedding and engagement pieces and I just love how they came out!"

Sharon Cook: "This is my first attempt at making a pendant, using sea glass which I collected from various beaches of the UK. I purchased from Kernow Craft Sterling Silver chains, Leaf Design Glue on Bails and Devcon 5 minute Epoxy Glue. Using the videos on Kernowcrafts website, which explained clearly what to do. I think they have turned out really well. A few Christmas presents sorted!"

Seasouldandsky: "Client’s own Sea-glass used in a Classic, with a matching hammered stacking ring. Pairing the classic with one of my sterling silver stacking rings really elevates the look, and they are made in such a way that they sit under the sea-glass so the bands can be next to each other for best comfort when wearing"

willowandtwigg: "This collection of seashell necklaces and bracelets were a very special commission for the family of a friend of mine. Like us, they had an overseas posting to Virginia Beach in the USA, and these silver shells were created as a memento to remind them of their time there. They’re made from silver metal clay and using real shells that were collected from local beaches during their stay. I’ve made silver shell jewellery before as you know, and I’ve also made corded bracelets featuring sea glass bezels, but this is the first time I’ve combined the two styles together."

MACRAME BRACELET TUTORIAL

madebyoonagh: "This stunning pendant features a lovely teardrop-shaped moonstone that radiates a captivating blue shimmer. The stone’s natural iridescence catches the light beautifully, revealing flashes of soft blues that shift and dance as you move."

The Beaded Magpie: "These exquisite earrings are crafted from sterling silver metal clay, showcasing the perfect blend of artistry and elegance. Each piece features a striking rose-cut carnelian cabochon, adding a warm, fiery pop of color that beautifully complements the cool, polished silver."

dionefinejewellery: "How many diamonds is too many diamonds? Don’t worry, that’s a trick question." 

This stunning ring design showcases the beauty of natural diamonds in an intricate and artistic setting. At its center is a striking salt and pepper diamond, radiating character and uniqueness. The surrounding bands are adorned with an array of dazzling white diamonds, carefully arranged with delicate bead-like detailing to create a celestial, organic feel. Crafted in warm gold, the multi-band design offers a layered, textured look, making it perfect for stacking or as a standalone statement piece.

billieellendesigns: "The texture was taken from real bark from a tree in my clients village which is known as 'the scary tree'. I’m so pleased with how this chunky ring turned out!! It was a pleasure to work with 18ct gold, a carat I haven’t had the chance of working with before."

@urchinjsp: "This is a solid silver piece design of mine, I set with Kernowcraft Turquoise Cabs. I hand cut the central heart from a larger Cab. Im very organic in my influences. Natural forms that I'm drawn to, woodlands, sea scapes, beaches, found objects, everything sculptural, in fact I've always said I just make small Sculptures that can be worn, as I never studied Jewellery design. So I'm very lacking in the way others are so talented who are. I'm self-taught beyond the basics that my Friend showed me in 90s. I'd done lost wax casting in bronze, and mould making at College which helped."

Sheila Kerr: "This is part of my 'Ailsa' collection and represents the iconic volcanic plug seen from the coastline near my studio. It is a well known landmark on the south west of Scotland and for many it represents home - it does for me. The sun sets in the west so there are many beautiful sunsets to be seen near my studio. I love it here! The pendant is shown in 9 ct yellow gold but is also available in sterling silver. Hallmarked in Edinburgh."
