Wearnes

Wearnes Jewellers is an independent, family-run Cornish jeweller with a history spanning four generations, dating back to 1890. Based in Falmouth and Helston, the business is known for inventing its distinctive Cornish Tin & Gold and Cornish Tin & Silver jewellery, made with genuine tin recovered from shipwrecks. Its collections include rings, wedding bands, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, bangles, charms and cufflinks, alongside birthstone jewellery and designs inspired by Cornwall.

The stores and online shop also offer diamond and gemstone rings, including solitaires, coloured-stone pieces and bespoke commissions. Customers can browse pre-loved and antique jewellery, such as rings, chains, earrings and brooches, with pre-owned pieces renovated before sale. Wearnes sells new and second-hand luxury watches, including examples from Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer and Breitling, as well as cob coins and shipwrecked-coin jewellery. Services include jewellery cleaning, selling scrap gold and arranging commissions. The business also provides gift vouchers and UK-only delivery, and its local involvement includes sponsorship and charitable activity associated with Helston’s Furry Dance.
