INTRODUCING
Arvor & Mor
Gill at Arvor & Mor makes jewellery for people who feel drawn to the sea. Her jewellery is shaped by Cornwall’s rugged coastline, its mining heritage, and time spent outdoors. Each unique piece is made to be worn, lived in and loved, carrying its own story as it becomes part of yours.




MEET...
Gill
The coast has always been a healing place for me. It calms and quietens my mind, hence Arvor and Mor — Cornish for coast and sea. I’m drawn to organic processes and natural imperfections, allowing each piece of jewellery to form in its own way. I work with recycled metals, using blow torches to melt, mould, cast and texture it by hand. I also work with wax, carving and moulding it into fluid, natural textures and shapes before casting. I also support The wave Project, making a positive impact with every creation.

MEET...
Lu
Hey, I’m Lucy but you can call me Lu. Sometimes funny, always weird, I create art and other lushness from my home on the wild north coast of Cornwall. A mental health crisis forced me to reevaluate the important things in life. I quit my job, jumped in the sea, picked up a pencil and started to draw for the first time in over a decade. A riot of emotion, colour and love was born. Telling beautiful stories that celebrate the wild magic that lives inside you. In a world that too often tells women they are not good enough, not pretty or thin enough, I want to remind them they are a magnificent force of nature: As gorgeous as the setting sun, as breathtaking as a cold wave splashing your skin. I am inspired by finding a connection to nature, water, mental illness, empowerment and my home county of Cornwall. I hope that something in my work speaks to the wildness in you and maybe even makes you smile.

Whether that's on horse back or on my own two feet. We are regularly stomping around the coast path or forestry, looking for new inspiration. I was in the horse industry since my late teens but after some health issues, I decided to give it up and finally start the floristry business I always wanted to try in January 2024. I'm totally self taught. I used my small amount of savings to make my first order of dried flowers and have just grown from there.
