Cornish Crafted Jewellery

When thinking of jewellery, most of us will be imagining something in gold or silver, perhaps with the benefit of a little sparkle from diamonds or some other precious stone. Thankfully, Justin Duance is not like most of us. For he dreams up amazing jewellery - made of wood!




I know, we've all seen wooden jewellery before. But, Justin's work is on another level. There's none of the lazy rustic 'charm' of the folksy stuff that's two a penny at craft fairs. (And, with Justin being based down in Cornwall, I suspect it would be easy for him to fall into that particular trap). Nor is this jewellery cast from the 'me big chief' mass-produced but superficially ethnic mould. No, this is an altogether more grown-up and accomplished product.


The range includes pendants, bracelets, earrings, rings - yes rings with beautiful warm bands of wood contrasting with clinical
silver. All are a joy to be hold.




The gorgeous organic pebble-shapes used in the bracelets and pendants are so naturally perfect. They could just as easily have been made from the ebb and flow of the tide over millions of years, just like the real thing. And, that's the real beauty of this range. It seems almost accidental. Like is has not been designed so much as occurred from some natural process. And the result is, naturally, amazing.
