HISTORY AND HERITAGE
Sea Gems, established in 1962, is a family run business that is definitely not stuck in the past.
Marcus Price, owner and creative director, was born and grew up in West Cornwall, with an affinity for the Ocean and coastline having been a keen surfer since childhood
His Father, Tony Price, was one of the first commercial divers in Cornwall and began the business with his wife June over 45 years ago and both are still very much a part of the day to day running of the company.
This successful family company is now in its third generation with Marcus’ eldest daughter Sofia joining, involving herself with the design, sales and digital marketing side. An established business with a young modern approach.
The business has come a long way since the early years, evolving to meet the needs of a variety of retail outlets and markets worldwide. We have robust systems in place using the latest technology and software to ensure it all runs efficiently and can meet today’s retail challenges. Operating out of its 10,000 sq. ft purpose-built offices and warehouse facility, near Penzance, a stone’s throw from the beach and views of St Michaels Mount.
We are also proud owners of two busy jewellery retail stores based in the iconic Cornish towns of St Ives and Marazion, which gives a unique understanding of how best to support you and more importantly what sells and how to display our products to their best advantage.
As an independent company we pride ourselves in the high level of care and attention we bring to every aspect of our business. We have an ethical sourcing policy and are continuously reducing our environmental footprint.
