About The  Collection
The South Crofty Collection was launched in 1988 with just two designs - an ingot and Celtic cross - and the project was an instant success.  From humble beginnings, the Collection has grown to become a leading retailer of Cornish tin jewellery and gifts. Each item is designed and crafted by hand here in Cornwall for customers across the world.

South Crofty was the last operating tin mine in Cornwall. Following its closure in 1998, some of the last reserves of ore were stockpiled especially for the South Crofty Collection. This partly processed ore continues to be smelted in batches to meet the ongoing needs of the workshop.

The South Crofty Collection attracts customers from around the world, many searching for 10th anniversary gifts. This occasion is a major milestone in your journey through life together and is traditionally celebrated with a gift of tin. For gifts and ideas for celebrating your 10 year anniversary, you can read our guide here.

Each item is presented in a quality gift box and issued with a certificate of authentication explaining the origin of our tin and a brief history of Cornish tin mining.

We are delighted to offer you the opportunity to own a little bit of Cornish heritage and a special piece of Cornwall.

A Bit About Me 

I'm Sadie, I was born and brought up on the Isles of Scilly but moved away for work and college However I always missed the sea, so when my family came along we decamped and moved back to Cornwall... 

In 2019 the opportunity arose to take over the running of the South Crofty Collection and I jumped at the chance. I continue to use traditional methods to make each individual piece of jewellery and giftware and take inspiration from the beautiful Cornish coastline and history.

I'm excited to be able to expand the collection so keep an eye out for new ranges...
