Hello! I specialise in delicate and dainty jewellery made from silver and top quality gemstones that I source direct from a family of artisan gemstone cutters in Jaipur, India, before bringing them back to make into jewellery in my studio overlooking Mounts Bay in beautiful Cornwall.

*ALL OF MY JEWELLERY COMES BOXED* so it's ready to give as a present to someone special - and that includes yourself!

*Not everything I make is listed here* If you've seen something at a craft fair and can't find it here, please get in touch with me directly.

Or if you'd like something a bit different, feel free to ask. I have over 2500 different gemstones so there's a lot to play with!

I run my business as environmentally friendly and ethically as I can. I use eco silver, recycled and recyclable packaging and re-use any plastics that come my way and, by going directly to the gemstone cutters, I know who is doing the work and their working conditions.

Delicate precious gemstone and silver jewellery to add colour and sparkle to your life.

Hi! I'm Sarah and I make delicate silver jewellery using precious and semi-precious gemstones. I like small and dainty jewellery, not big and chunky, and that's what I make: Jewellery that can be worn everyday but is also special enough for going out; Jewellery that's handmade with care and with special attention to sourcing the top quality gemstones that are my passion, while staying good value and affordable; Jewellery that doesn't shout but sparkles...

Above all, my jewellery is always made from the best materials I can find, while staying affordable. I find I have an inner extra confidence from wearing the real thing, and I like the idea that the pieces will last and can be passed on to the next generation.

My background is that twenty or so years ago I was working in higher education when I went to the Netherlands for some meetings. I had an afternoon off and tried to do some sightseeing around Leiden - but it was December and the freezing sleet was horizontal so instead I ducked into a random shop and became addicted...

The shop sold beads and the assistant showed me how to begin making jewellery. When I got home I bought more beads and tools, read books, took lots of jewellery making classes, and then silver smithing classes. The gemstones became my passion - I buy mostly from Jaipur in India, which is considered the the gemstone cutting capital of the world, and the cutters I go to specialise in exclusively cutting AAA grade stones. To hold gorgeous peridots, black diamonds, rubies, blue sapphires in my hand - as I am in the photograph - is amazing and in the end, I chucked in the day job and ran away to the sea side to make jewellery full time.

Nowadays I live and make my jewellery in a converted C18th Wesleyan Chapel - Wesley himself preached there in 1766. It's on a little no-through lane that winds down to the sea and most days I walk along the beautiful Cornish coast looking out over the fairytale St Michael's Mount. When I'm not making jewellery at home, I have a stall at the weekly St Ives Craft Market in the Guildhall, and the monthly Truro Cathedral City Market - if you come to Cornwall, come and see me!

PS - My surname dates back 1865 and the arrival in Liverpool of a Basque sailor called Ramon de Larrinaga. It rhymes with Lime and Lager, which isn't very romantic, but is accurate!
