We have been providing traditional tin jewellery and gifts since 2004. Initially launching as a showcase for a local manufacturer, Pirate Nation became the premier website for 10th wedding anniversary gifts, Christening gifts, Celtic and Elvish jewellery and tin keepsakes. Using tin sourced from ship-wrecks on and around the Cornish coast, we take a great deal of pride in supplying gifts from Cornwall, by Cornish companies. This is the ethos behind our name, because Cornwall, historically, has an association with Piracy on the high-seas - as well as a long history of mining and producing tin. So we decided to play on the Pirate character, which gives us the excuse to mutter? yarrrgh? In times of frustration!
