There’s something truly special about spring and summer in Whitstable. As the sun warms our pebbled beaches and the sea breeze picks up the scent of salt and summer blooms, it’s the perfect time to step outside, explore the coast, and, of course, show off your favourite jewellery pieces.

At Lisa McKean Jewellery, based right here in Whitstable, Kent, I design and handcraft sterling silver and gold jewellery inspired by the natural beauty of our seaside town. Whether you're strolling along Tankerton Slopes, browsing the Harbour Market, or enjoying oysters at the beach, the right piece of jewellery adds a little extra sparkle to the day.

Summer Style – Whitstable Jewellery That Shines

Lighter layers and shorter sleeves mean more chances to accessorise - think handcrafted bangles, stacking rings, and dainty necklaces that catch the light. My coastal-inspired designs, including sea shell and starfish jewellery, are made using recycled silver and gold, blending timeless style with sustainable choices.

Each piece is created in my Whitstable jewellery workshop, and many of them are one-of-a-kind, perfect for those long summer days when you want your jewellery to feel as unique as your adventures.

Handmade Jewellery for Whitstable Days

As a local independent jeweller, I love helping my customers find meaningful, handcrafted pieces that reflect the easygoing charm of Whitstable life. Whether you're treating yourself or looking for a thoughtful gift, there’s something for everyone in my online shop – from personalised jewellery to artisan bangles and seaside treasures.
