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.
The idea is to create something new from old, found by chance unique, full of history and character. To present and deliver Eco Friendly gifts in Sustainable Packaging.
I love collecting ceramic discarded, lost, forgotten, damaged or just not wanted any more. 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-worked and crafted into something new. Bits and bobs found by chance 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.

Broken Plate
Discovered
Bishop Auckland

Re-Created into
Pendant & Earrings
April 2023
I found a few interesting pieces of ceramic in a charity shop, Bishop Auckland, Co Durham. Some were rescue plates, cracked or badly damaged, others were stand out pieces, slightly damaged, all reduced to clear or for recycling.
This jewellery set is made from a very damaged wall plate, red poppy design. I gently clipped the plate but unfortunately almost all of it shattered. However, I managed to save 3 shards and create this striking poppy design necklace and earrings.
Front glaze in tact, back and sides sanded and sealed with Eco friendly non toxic matte sealant.
The idea is to create something new from old. The finished piece isn’t meant to be perfect or highly polished but instead retain part of the original character, including marks and scratches, all part of the history of the ceramic.
Once a very damaged wall plate destined to be thrown away, found by chance and recreated into a pendant.
Measures approximately 21mm x 20mm (widest) x 2mm
Hanging on 16 inch chain with 2 inch extender, 925 sterling silver
Delivered in gift box made from FSC®-certified cardboard and water-based glue. Presented on Jewellery box insert made from tall oil, a by-product of paper production. Sustainable gifts, complete with short bio.
Designed by Stephanie in Barnard Castle
