Supporting jewellery makers for over 50 years, Kernowcraft exists to support makers at every stage of their creative journey, from beginners picking up tools for the first time to experienced makers refining their craft, providing the materials, tools and inspiration needed to bring ideas to life.
For the love of making
At our heart, we’re a small team who love making things and supporting those who do. For over 50 years, we’ve supplied high quality gemstones and jewellery making materials to both hobbyists and professionals. Our long standing supplier relationships, some from the very beginning, mean we offer materials we truly trust, so your finished piece feels as good as the idea behind it.

Our Cornish roots
Kernowcraft’s story started in Cornwall, UK in 1967, when my grandparents returned from Australia inspired by the growing world of jewellery making. They brought home a spark, a belief that anyone, with the right tools and a bit of encouragement, could make something beautiful.
They set up a tiny family business built on friendliness, reliability, and helping people make things. Those early values were passed down, and they still guide everything we do today. Three generations later, the heart of Kernowcraft remains the same: support creativity, treat people kindly and stay true to our roots.
