The idea is to create something new from old, the finished piece isn't meant to be perfect. Instead, retain marks, stains and scratches, part of the original character of the ceramic. All Sterling Silver is either recycled or repurposed and may also have imperfections or scratches.

Jewellery boxes are made from FSC®-certified cardboard and water-based glue. Jewellery box inserts are made from tall oil, a by-product of wood pulp industry. All paper, card, glue, inks and delivery boxes used are made from recycled materials.

PLEASE CONTACT FOR ORDERS TO US, DUE TO RECENT CHANGES I NO LONGER HAVE THE DELIVERY OPTION ACTIVATED.

I love collecting things that have been discarded, lost, forgotten, damaged or just not wanted any more. My favourite places are rivers and beaches, but also find great things at recycling centres and charity shops. I’m lucky to live near the River Tees, Co Durham and often walk the banks picking up broken glass, pottery anything that can be cleaned and re-created into something new. Bits and bobs of lives all waiting to find new homes. All shards used have a letter F for family and S for Shards and a number that relates to order of process.

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

Unless faulty, the following types of items are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to your specific requirements; items which deteriorate quickly (e.g. food), personal items sold with a hygiene seal (cosmetics, underwear) in instances where the seal is broken; digital items.

Additional terms

Hand crafted Jewellery and framed artworks using pre loved and discarded ceramics. Ceramic material will show signs of wear and damage. Entire process is a creative experience from discovery to final picture, nothing planned or preconceived. All materials personally collected from river banks, charity shops, roadside, woods, recycle centres, beaches, wherever dropped, dumped or donated ceramics are found, cleaned and shaped into new stories. Each titled piece comes with bio of where the ceramic came from, known history, original information and when the artwork was created. Some ceramics collected are used as found, while others are cut randomly which will shape the final picture. Every piece is individual, nothing replicated, however, due to repetitive patterns in ceramics there will be some similarity but only through the ceramic material not in the final piece.

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.

Read the Folksy Returns Policy.

Full description

Created from Wall Plate

discovered August 2020

Re-Created July 2021

In August 2020 I bought a box of mismatched ceramics from a charity shop in Darlington. It was filled with odds and ends, broken decorative wall plates, tea set and mugs.

These earrings are made from the outer edge pattern of a broken plate, I have quite a lot of shards from this plate and intend to make more earrings and pendants however, everything made will be unique and one of a kind. No two items will be the same. The ceramic is hard and strong with the glaze in tact, for these earrings I have used hypoallergenic stainless steel posts and backs. The posts are set off centre to create a stud earring that hangs down below the lobe.

The idea is to create new from old. The finished piece isn’t meant to be perfect or highly polished but instead retain part of the original character.

Each circular earring measures 19mm across and 3mm thick.

Delivered in a gift box, gift bag made from recycled materials and includes short bio.
