Re-purposed, re-imagined
Jewellery and objects made by award winning eco-artist, jeweller - Alison Bailey Smith, based in Wellington Road Studios, unit 2, 28a Wellington Road, Birkenhead, CH43 2JE
A staple ingredient in my work is wire that I reclaim from old televisions, the older the better. I've found over a hundred different colours and hues of copper and aluminium wire. It takes me about an hour to gut a television salvaging all that I can use and about 3 days to re-create it into a hat. The first hat took me months to do and is now in the National Museums of Scotland Collection (they also have my first pair of shoes and a hatpin). Lately though, due to the rate of development in technology, I've found it harder to find the old television sets and have had to resort to buying various colours of wire! As with most of my work there is only one (or in this case a pair).

Full description
Ring Drop earrings from recycled materials. Hand-made by Alison Bailey Smith (me) in 2022 in Wirral from wire from old televisions, re-purposed copper electrical wire and bought wire with copper hooks. Re-purposing our household plastic and metal waste in creative and sustainable ways.
The piece is presented with a branded vibrant pink recycled card and delivered with a card describing the "ingredients" in the earrings which makes it an excellent gift for the eco conscious recipient with an acid green recycled envelope. To tie in with my green ethos, I do not ship outside of the UK, postage is included in the price and all external packaging is reused, or repurposed.
Copper hooks but these can be exchanged at request and for an additional fee to silver or clips.
4cm and 2 1/5 cm diameter of hoop part Code E 20/22
Designed by Alison Bailey Smith in Liverpool
