Lizard Point, Cornwall

The Lizard Point jewellery set. This set features a large pendant hewn from the rocks at Lizard Point in Cornwall, UK. Lizard Point is a unique geological feature in Cornwall because the whole peninsula is formed from serpentine semi precious gemstone rather than common rocks! The cliffs, rocks beneath the soil, and the pebbles on the beach are all multicoloured reptilian patterned serpentine stone. The stone’s colour is a mix of forest green, white, dark brown, deep red, and black. The visitor centre is surrounded by local artisans’ shops making and selling jewellery, ornaments, housewares, and other decorative objects made of polished Lizard Point serpentine stone. 

My necklace’s colours are drawn from the natural landscape around Lizard Point. The blue and white is the sea and sky, the green is the wildflower meadows on the clifftops, and the diverse earth tones the rocks below. The earrings are actually another stone called “camouflage jasper”. It’s a lovely memento of this beautiful place.
