The Cornish Jewellery Edition
Summer’s in full swing, and so is the social calendar, which calls for lots of stylish summer outfits! If you’re looking for an easy way to jazz up a favourite dress in your wardrobe, rather than investing in a whole new ensemble, a pair of stunning earrings can do just that! Enhancing your look and making you feel beautiful, they really do add the finishing touch.
We’ve selected 10 pairs of earrings that you’ll want to wear everywhere this summer. From pretty studs to elegant drop earrings, all are handcrafted by the finest Cornish jewellery designers.
Everyday earrings
Perfect for day-to-day wear, Lucy Kemp’s Dotty Circle Studs are wonderfully different. Made of Sterling Silver ‘dotty wire,’ these dainty rings have a lovely texture and the fact that they’re lightweight makes them oh-so-comfy on the ear.
Eye-catching ocean blues
The Blue Water Bar Drop Earrings by SilverHare Jewellery are inspired by the maker’s first visit to the Isles of Scilly. Drawing on the area’s captivating aquamarine waters, these earrings have a vibrant turquoise enamel set into recycled fine silver. They catch the light in the same way as the sea – sometimes appearing deep blue, and other times a vibrant turquoise.
Art deco style
Those with a passion for all things Art Deco will love Budeful’s Sterling Silver Sunbeam Earrings. Spreading sunshine and happiness, these striking drop earrings are designed and made in Cornwall from recycled silver.
Little stars
The Kerenza Star Studs, by South Crofty Collection, are delicately crafted with a textured finish to make them sparkle in the light. Not only do they look gorgeous, but they also have some history behind them as they are made from pure Cornish tin – the remaining tin, in fact, from the last tin mine to close in Cornwall! Fabulous for 10th wedding anniversaries, which are celebrated with the gift of tin, this is a unique piece of Cornish jewellery that can be worn for a lifetime.
Statement earrings
Carole Allen is a jewellery designer and a true artist. Her Silver & Enamel Mussel Shell Earrings are cast from actual mussel shells found on Gwithian Beach and have the same deep blue and shimmering silver tones as real ocean molluscs. Hanging from organically shaped silver discs, these shell earrings look fabulous, and attract many a compliment!
Earrings that reflect nature
Cornish Jewellery designer, C Jane Jewellery, draws inspiration from her surrounding coast and countryside and has modelled her sterling silver, Curling Fern Earrings on the shape and texture of the humble fern leaf found in many a Cornish hedgerow. These earrings move gracefully on the ear and add a touch of glamour to even the most casual of outfits.
A pair for summer beach days
For the ultimate beach babe look, the Cowry Shell Earrings by Gemweyth Sea Glass Jewellery are your go-to. Handmade from real cowry shells with sterling silver hooks, this is a pair of earrings that you can wear at the beach and then into the evening!
Earrings for every occasion
The Sunlight Feldspar & White Agate Earrings by Rockpool Jewellery could quite possibly be the most versatile pair of earrings you’ll own! Handmade from sterling silver with ethically sourced gemstones in neutral tones, these earrings go with a whole host of outfits!
Tiny shells
Subtle yet splendid, the sterling silver, Small Shell Stud Earrings by Sky-Coll are a bright silver with a beautiful seashell texture. Presented in a branded, eco-friendly gift box, they make a super gift for a friend, and their sensible price tag makes them a justifiable buy for yourself too!
Flower buds
Last but certainly not least, are the exquisite Bud Earrings by Sally Wilcox. Available in yellow gold, rose gold, silver, and lightly oxidised silver, these beautifully made earrings are designed as mismatched pairs, as no two flowers are ever the same. Making a wonderful addition to your jewellery collection, you’ll feel special each and every time you wear them.
