Indulge in the breathtaking beauty of Jersey, and carry a piece of it with you always, with our exquisite Ormer collection. This stunning collection pays homage to the island’s very own mother of pearl, which is found right here on Jersey’s coastline.
With its iridescent colours, it catches the light wonderfully when worn, and is the perfect Jersey keepsake you can treasure for years to come.
Our Ormer collection took over 3 years to design and develop due to the fragile nature of the shell and we had to take great care adapting it into the jewellery you see today.
Plus, each beautiful item is made with sustainably sourced mother of pearl and comes set in either rhodium-plated or rose gold plated sterling silver, or 9ct gold.

About Our Ormer Shells
‘Ormering’, which is the practice of collecting ormers, is a beloved part of our island’s heritage. In fact, Trevor Le Cornu, our ormerer-in-chief, is a third-generation harvester of these wonderful marine creatures. He collects them in Le Hocq on just a few days of the year. We are committed to the sustainable gathering of ormers and care deeply about our planet and for this reason, our jewellery and packaging are carbon neutral.
Jersey Ormer also has an important place in Jersey’s history. It has a unique sandy colour that holds rainbows of light, and because of its beauty, it was traditionally sought after for a variety of decorative items from furniture and musical instruments to buttons and jewellery.
