This pendant is something truly special, a precious piece of Cornish turquoise! Yes, really!
Found in the Gunheath China Clay pit, near St Austell Cornwall. Cornish turquoise raw material is now unavailable and as such is very rare and extra special.
A tribute to Cornwall’s coastal landscape, the beautiful turquoise colours are reminiscent of Cornwall’s gorgeous turquoise seas whilst the small grey edge at the top of the pendant could signify the grey of the rocky Cornish cliffs.
Set in a recycled sterling silver setting, this gorgeous one-of-a-kind pendant also features a map of Cornwall pierced out of the back, an extra detail for those who really love this place.
