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 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.

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

Shards 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.

Read the Folksy Returns Policy.

Created from ceramic discovered

Near The River Tees

Barnard Castle March 2022

Re-Created Decoration March 2022

I found some pieces of ceramic near the River Tees, Barnard Castle, Co Durham. All broken, smashed and in bad condition. I later found out that the area had once been a Victorian dump.

This hanging decoration is made from a piece of green pot found laying face down in the mud. After a clean I started to sand the edges, although the shard felt strong a bit came away from the edge. This accidental small brake created an interesting shape, I continued to sand following the new edge. Sometimes the ceramic decides where I drill a hole due to how brittle or strong the material is. The newly sanded shape suggested to put the hole in the narrow part which is now the top but the raised pattern and curve suggests the actual pot is the other way up. Rich green with raised design.

A shard of plate found by chance to start life again as a decoration. Unique and full of history.

Delivered in recycled packaging and includes gift box and short bio.

Sterling Silver fish hooks

Measures approximately 77mm x 55mm (widest) x 3mm

Hanging on recycled twine.
