| The
Turning Point is the sole distributor for St Justin,
Cornwall products in Australia.
Each individual piece of St Justin jewellery and giftware
is crafted by hand and eye in Cornwall, the South West
extremity of Britain. This wild and beautiful land
was home to the many native Celts who were driven away
from the temperate midlands of Britain by invading
European warriors, such as the Angles of Northern Germany.
It is in places such as Cornwall, Wales, Ireland and
Scotland that the art of the Celts and ancient Britons
has survived, carved into stone tombs and discovered
on pottery fragments and ornaments.
Our Products page shows examples of some of the products available. To see further examples please click
here to visit the St Justin products page. Note that this is the site in the UK and orders in
Australia need to be made here at The Turning Point.
CELTIC ART
Celtic art reverberates through the centuries, identified
by the simple sophistication of form and an indefinable
feeling for the rightness of things. Modern interpretations
of Celtic tradition have given us the Arts and Crafts
movement, where the ancient Celtic beliefs in elegance
of form, and a reverence for the Earth and its creatures,
is apparent in the work of designers such as Charles
Rennie Mackintosh and Archibald Knox.
The result, as given form by St Justin in the enduring
alloy of pewter, is not only a recreation of the past,
but a continual evolving of living art, created by
modern craftsmen for the people of today.
This site carries a selection of St Justin quality
jewellery and gift ranges. For more information, please
see our Products page.
