Memory in Metal

Reimagining heirlooms, creating future classics and curating timepieces with exacting care.

At the Jewellery Workshop in Porthleven, items of personal significance are given a second life. A worn ring, a faded necklace, or a well-loved bracelet may arrive tarnished or broken, but they leave restored, reworked or completely reimagined. Using traditional techniques and modern tools, the team transforms heirloom gold into contemporary designs that retain the emotional value of the original. Even details like sand from a meaningful beach can be pressed into the metal, creating a permanent link to a specific time or place.

The workshop also stocks a regularly changing collection of pre-owned jewellery, carefully selected for its quality and character. Alongside these vintage finds are new collections by independent UK makers, including a distinctive range of titanium jewellery. Lightweight, hypoallergenic and highly durable, each piece is anodised to a vibrant colour using an electric current – an eye-catching and practical alternative to traditional materials.

In addition to jewellery, the workshop is Cornwall’s only stockist of Zeppelin, Bauhaus and Bauhaus Aviation watches. These German-made models are available in both quartz and mechanical versions, with a focus on clean design and excellent engineering.

The workshop is also known for its efficient, reliable repair services. From ring resizing to watch battery replacement, engraving to pearl restringing, repairs are carried out with attention to detail and a high standard of craftsmanship. Whether it’s restoring a treasured item or helping someone choose something new, the aim is always the same: to deliver quality work with care and expertise.

Besides selling new pieces, it’s a place where old items are revived and new ones are made to last.
