Jennifer Kinnear wearing her jewellery on the coast in Tarifa, Spain

Irish heart · Atlantic soul

Jewellery shaped by the sea

The romance of the sea, sealed in sterling silver and gold.

I’m Jennifer Kinnear, an Irish jewellery designer in Tarifa. I turn shoreline discoveries into bold pieces to wear and treasure.

The Ocean Collection

Nature leaves the best marks.

Sea urchins from Playa de los Lances, storm-washed shells and found crab claws become the starting points for my Ocean Collection. Each keeps something of the shore where it began.

Texture & natural form

A closer look at the sea.

A shell’s fine ridges, worn edges and unexpected curves are worth a closer look. Preserved in silver and gold, they catch the light and give each design its character.

On the skin · In the detail

The sea, worn your way.

Wear one piece close to the skin, or layer your favourite treasures. Make them your own.

At the bench · Bespoke commissions

From found form to finished piece.

At my bench, an idea takes shape through careful work by hand — sawing, piercing and refining each design.

For designs made using lost-wax casting, I work with a specialist casting company in Dublin. My precious-metal jewellery is also hallmarked in Dublin.

A family stone, a favourite place or a memory worth keeping: together, we can turn it into a one-of-a-kind piece in silver or gold.

Tarifa · Costa de la Luz

Salt on your skin, wind in your hair.

Where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, Tarifa is my home for sailing, kitesurfing and beachcombing. Its wind, light and freedom find their way into my work.

My studio and shop is in Plaza de Oviedo in Tarifa’s old town, facing San Mateo church.

Global soul · Irish heart

Ireland is never very far away.

Ireland’s coastlines, history and sense of craft run through my work. From a shell found on Dollymount beach to the story of an Irish female pirate, home is a constant source of inspiration.
