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.
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 piece comes with a short bio of where the ceramic came from, date found and re-created. Some shards collected are used as found, others are cut randomly which shape the final work. 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.

Ceramic discovered
River Tees

Re-Created Earrings
March 2023
A small patch of ground beside the River Tees, Barnard Castle gets boggy and exposed during heavy rains. The downpours unearth all sorts of broken pot, glass, bits of pipes and wonderful oyster shells.
I found a small cracked piece of ceramic blue and white pattern facing upward. After a clean I was able to drill holes and shape into earrings. Front and back glaze in tact, the area around the hole is sanded and sealed with eco friendly matt sealant.
Unique, full of history, found by chance and re-created into earrings. Similar in size and shape but not exactly. The idea is to re-use the ceramic found but keep its original character. The finished item is not meant to be perfect or highly polished.
Each earring measures approximately 17mm x 8mm (widest) x 2mm.
Full drop approximately 36mm.
Hanging Sterling Silver 925 hooks
Delivered in gift box made with recycled materials, gift bag and short bio.
Designed by Stephanie in Barnard Castle
