Emily Nixon Jewellery specialises in organic, handmade fine jewellery, cast using the lost wax process and finished and set with natural diamonds and sapphires in West Cornwall.
The work captures our eternal connection to natural forms, made to mark the important moments of our lives, outlive us, and tell their story forever. An Emily Nixon piece is a permanent attachment to the earth and sea, a timeless artwork, born from an eternal source and worn forever. Raw forms cast with fine jewels. Textures, shapes, moulded by the sea, rocks, rivers, hills and magma.
Our brand reflects and enables this mission. It represents artistry, a raw natural bond to the earth, and the breaking of conventions. At its heart is an authentic connection to the elemental beauty of natural forms, represented meaningfully as pieces of art.
The studio and workshop team are currently based in the historic White’s Warehouse building in Hayle. However, the team will relocate in October 2025 to a larger, charismatic and purpose-built location in the centre of Penzance. With a new brand identity and website launching simultaneously, you would be joining a dynamic team at a time of fast-paced growth and change.
