Welcome to Rose Karensa Jewellery

My Jewellery and Silversmithing is about exploration and discovery using ancient techniques in contemporary design and combining new materials, stones and precious metals in innovative ways.

I started my career in Fine Art Painting and still find colour is a major influence in my jewellery work today. Walking the moors and the coastal paths of Cornwall I absorb the subtle hues of the sea and landscape which I then translate through my jewellery.

To incorporate colour into my designs I often use enamel, adding vibrancy into semi hidden areas. Niobium is one of the rare metals that I use in combination with precious metals to add contrast with deep blues and greys.

Much of my inspiration comes from the beautiful precious and semi precious stones I source and around which I design unique pieces of jewellery.

The ‘Celebratory Spoons’ are created to celebrate the birth of a child or Christening, a wedding or anniversary, or for that extra special gift or occasion. The spoons can be etched with a personal saying, phrase or ‘pearl of wisdom’. Each spoon is designed to be functional, from babies 1st spoon to egg spoon, salt & pepper spoon to jam or pickle spoon.

I also work to commission, designing exclusive jewellery, including engagement and wedding rings, to provide a very personal and tailored service.
