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. Found by chance.
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.

Re-Created Pendant
October 2023
Walking besides the River Tees in Barnard Castle I found a lovely shard of ceramic, sitting face up, triangle with a slight curve. The shape suggested a pendant. After cleaning I drilled a hole and started to sand the edges. I spent a long time following the original shape and smoothing the side then unfortunately I dropped the piece and it broke. It was such a lovely shape, the back had remnants of a dark glaze and the front beautiful blue waves. I decided to try again and drilled another hole, due to dropping it not a lot of the ceramic was left so I just sanded and shaped as the size allowed me. The result is this pendant, full of history, once a broken piece of ceramic dumped, found by chance, broken again and reshaped into something unique.
Front glaze in tact but has scratches, back sanded around glaze and protected with eco friendly non toxic matt sealant.
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.
Pendant measures approximately 17mm x 13mm (widest) x 3mm
Hanging on recycled 925 Sterling Silver chain 40cm plus 5cm Extender
Delivered in small brown gift box and gift bag made with recycled materials and comes with short bio.
Designed by Stephanie in Barnard Castle
