PLEASE NOTE
I AM UPDATING PRODUCT BOXES FOR JEWELLERY AND DECORATIONS WHICH WILL TAKE AWHILE, IF YOU PURCHASE YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR ORDER IN THE NEW BOXES AS DESCRIBED BELOW.
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.
I love collecting things 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.

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 a short 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.
Full description
Created from ceramic discovered in
Recycling Centre Barnard Castle July 2020
Re-Created into Earrings February 2022
In July 2020 I found a small decorative plate set which was damaged and destined for recycling. I love collecting and immediately saw how attractive the pattern appeared with strong rich blues. The plates were chipped and cracked badly so I thought the process of creating shards for any project might completely destroy any pattern.
I gently clipped the edges with a small tile cutter, random shapes formed into varying pieces. Luckily the plates broke in a manner where a lot of the pattern survived. Every shard is different but sometimes fragments develop in a way that suggests pairs.
These drop earrings are made from the same area of plate, the shards are similar but the final shape isn’t perfect or identical. Unique, completely one of a kind, hand painted pattern.
Delivered in recycled packaging and includes gift box, gift bag and short bio.
Sterling Silver fish hooks
Each earring approximately 26mm x 14mm x 2mm
Full drop approximately 44mm
