14 Jewellery Designs Inspired By Nature

As we're located in Cornwall, we're surrounded by stunning coastline, rugged cliffs and floral woodlands. We're so lucky to be among nature and it always inspires our jewellery designs. All throughout the year, nature changes and brings new ideas, textures and colours so it's no surprise that many jewellers focus on nature within their designs.

Over on Kernowcraft's Facebook page, we asked you to share your jewellery designs inspired by nature and we wanted to share some of our favourites on our blog. There are so many different designs including sea glass, statement gemstones and textured metal.
