Adore My Store St Justin

Almost everyone in Cornwall will know the St Justin brand.

For over 30 years their jewellery has found its way across the Duchy. From humble, traditional beginnings it has now blossomed into one of Cornwall’s premier jewellery makers. 

Founded in 1984 by Jeremy Gilbert, St Justin began in the small village of Pendeen near St Just, an area steeped in tin-mining history. With a staff of three, Gilbert began to produce small pewter items to sell locally in gift and craft stores. As the business started to flourish the name ‘St Justin’ was born and within three years it was moved to its new home in Penzance. 

“When the company first began, many of the items created were heavily influence by ancient Celtic designs,” explains Wayne Hutchings, St Justin’s Marketing Manager, “Over the years this has continued and the company has diversified into creating designs not only influenced by the history and traditions of Cornwall but also from the whole of the UK and countries overseas. We can get inspiration everywhere - from textures of rocks, the colours of the sea, an ancient tradition or an historical event – and even our own pets!”
