Cornish Tin Jewellery
Each piece of our Cornish tin jewellery reflects Cornwall’s rich history and traditions. Including Cornish tin reclaimed from a shipwreck, these items carry stories from Cornwall's past.
The tin ingots, originally smelted in 1862 at Chyandour, Penzance, were stamped with the lamb and flag symbol. Now, over a century later, they find new life in St Justin’s Cornish Tin Collection.
Perfect for celebrating a 10th wedding anniversary, these pieces are a meaningful part of Cornish heritage. Each piece is presented in a quality gift box, making it a thoughtful gift for this special milestone.

Unique Characteristics of Cornish Tin
Cornish tin is renowned for its unique characteristics, which make it an ideal material for crafting beautiful gifts and jewellery. One of the key characteristics of Cornish tin is its soft and malleable nature, allowing it to be shaped and cast into intricate designs. Cornish tin has a distinctive silver-gray color, giving it a subtle elegance and sophistication.
When smelted and crafted, Cornish tin takes on a beautiful patina, adding to its unique charm. Our jewellery not only reflects the natural beauty of the tin but also the rich history and heritage of Cornwall.
