Hello and welcome. I make jewellery out of hand rolled paper beads which I sell in aid of the St Wilfrid's centre for vulnerable and homeless adults. Check out their website https://www.stwilfridscentre.org/

I use recycled paper and I get inspiration from the colour of the paper and whichever pre-loved beads I could find to complement my design - This means that no two pieces are alike.

I add new creations every few weeks, so please feel free to come and browse again and again for that one-of-a-kind piece. If you like what you see and want to buy more than one piece, then please let me know as I am very happy to combine postage for you.

You have 14 days, from receipt, to notify the seller if you wish to cancel your order or exchange an item.

Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.

Full description

So pleased to have been gifted this very old (1946!!) Ordnance Survey map of Cornwall, showing areas around Newquay and Padstow. It shows all my favourite parts of this lovely part of the UK.

Despite its age, the map had very vivid colours but when hand rolled into cones, the predominant effect was subtle hues of cream, blue and pale green. The paper beaded cones were therefore complemented with an oval cream bead at the tip and preloved taupe shiny flat bead and preloved cream wood flat bead at the top.

The drop of the earrings is 7 cm from the tip of the gold plated earring hook to the bottom bead. The earrings are very light to wear.

Please note that, as I work with recycled paper, and with whatever design is on a page, the beads are not identical.

My jewellery is sold in aid of the St Wilfrid's centre for vulnerable, socially excluded and homeless adults.
