“Many artists are inspired by Cornwall and I am no exception. But while the weather-worn rocks, play of light, and rock pools all contribute to my visual language, there is an ingredient that is harder to describe…Its about not caring if the sun isn’t shining, loving a foggy morning, cold icy swims, the silence, stretching my eyes to distant horizons, majestic landscapes, hidden tropical valleys, pirates treasure, celebrating long summer evenings with fires on the beach and knowing that you are surrounded by other people who get that. That’s my Cornwall and I want to make jewellery to capture its unique spirit…”

— Mirri Damer, Falmouth

Key Aesthetics

crown

From observing rock pools, reflections in water, the play of light on the sand at low tide, the intricacies of lichen on wood and stone, and the notion of digging up pirate’s treasure on the beach…… Always reminded of Cornwall’s surrounding mining heritage, the image of small nuggets of gold lying just beneath the surface, their natural, tactile and precious properties are ever-present in my design aesthetic.

drift

The towering majestic rocks and windswept dunes of the north to beachcombing on the sheltered coves of the South. The Drift range is about the strong weathered lines of Cornwall’s coast and the joy of finding hidden crevices filled with sea worn shapes and forms. The strata of eroding cliffs, half hidden dune fences, sea sculpted drift wood and lines of lodged pebbles.
