Great looking website, one of the best I've seen and used. Good search function, good range of products, good prices and great advice for jewellery makers of all abilities. All-in-all a great site and one I'll use again and again.

I’ve used Kernowcraft as a supplier for findings and pearls since beginning my business 8 years ago, because I know I can absolutely rely on the quality I get. The service is pretty impeccable too.

Thank you for a first rate service I will be back."

Just wanted to say thank you. I was very impressed by how quickly my order was packed, dispatched and delivered and am pleased with the quality of the items. I've already spent several happy hours browsing all of the wonderful treasures on your website and am about to place my second order with you! You will definitely be my first stop for any jewellery-making supplies from now on. By the way, I only discovered your company two days ago!"
Venetia
"Several years ago I lost a sapphire from my engagement ring. This year I decided to replace the stone and looked at many different jewellers and loose stone suppliers across the county before I came across Kernowcraft on the internet. Of course I was wary as I hadn't heard of them but some research showed others recommending them so decided to give it a try. The staff at Kernowcraft were brilliant in helping me to find the perfect sapphire. The sapphire I purchased was as close to the original as I think it's possible to be. I also purchased a topaz to fit another 'stoneless' ring and that was also perfect. Thank you to the staff at Kernowcraft. I have already recommended Kernowcraft to everyone I've spoken to since. Wonderful customer service and excellent products."
Sread

Barbara Thomson
"Great jewellery making materials, such helpful advice with each product, I follow the blog & pick up helpful hints and tips. Always fast delivery, would highly recommend. X"
Sammy Sharpe-Grose
"Outstanding customer service. I ordered some cabochons and one was not quite right, I returned it with a note about my specific requirements. A woman from Kernowcraft customer services rang me up, with a tray of stones in front of her and spent several minutes going through the stock to find a perfect stone for me! Great :)"
Elizabeth Oliver
"I have been a regular customer for about 4 or 5 years now and Kernowcraft have always been brilliant. The delivery is always very quick and accurate. If I ever need anything specific like a matching pair of stones for earrings they always make sure that's what I get. The prices are very reasonable and they have a great range of products."
Kirsten McIntosh
"My opal slice is stunning, dances in sunlight or shadow, so glad I pushed the boat out. x"

Rachel
"I placed my first order a couple of months ago and made a mistake with my order - I meant to order two gemstones and asked them to match, however only one appeared on the order. They noticed my mistake and emailed me straight away, I placed a second order and they combined the two, meaning I only paid one lot of postage. Fantastic customer service and excellent quality products, cannot recommend enough."
Louise Bellamy
"I have been using Kernowcraft for absolutely years, I’m not a huge spender but they always do a great job with my orders, they have great communication with all aspects of my orders and offer such a lovely human touch, you are always guaranteed to speak or have contact with someone who loves and cares about their own job and yours. Thank you guys."
Josephine Jardine
"I’d really like to say thank you to the person who packed my order. I’d asked for matched pairs if possible but did not expect that you’d take the time to match them so carefully. I’m really grateful and wanted to say how impressed I am by the extra care you put into fulfilling my order. Thank you."
Melanie
"Just wanted to say thank you for picking such beautiful stones for my order. I'm halfway through making a ring for my daughter and the rose cut rainbow moonstones are particularly yummy. Thank you!"
Helen
"Thank you Kernowcraft! Will be back for more from you soon. Can’t wait to help my granddaughter wrap her sea glass from Cornish holidays plus Granny’s sea glass collected in her childhood at Widemouth and around. She is so keen, craft-minded and environmentally aware."
Valentine
"Highly recommended and always delivered fast. I order regularly from them. I did put an order in on thurs and it arrived fri. They even telephoned me because they thought I had made a mistake with my order to check. Now thats service. 100%."
Liz Farrington
"I came across this company by accident and I am very impressed by the website and the information they offer. I am very new to jewellery making. Started off doing resin work but I want to progress onto making gemstone jewellery. This is the best website I have seen for this purpose. Will definitely be using this company."
Terry Martin
"Thank you for refunding my item. Just a bit of feedback. I have made a few purchases from you over the last twelve months and I have found the service you provide to be excellent. All my purchases have arrived promptly and as described on your site. I have had to make a couple of returns which have both been my mistake, not yours and these have always been refunded quickly. The update emails are always fun to read and inspiring for me as a jeweller with a new business."
Karen
"I added a special request for moonstones with strong blue/green flashes and received 3 briolettes which were exactly that - some of the prettiest moonstones I’ve seen. Thank you!"
