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.

Read the Folksy Returns Policy.

Re-Created Earrings

April 2024

I love collecting anything broken, lost or found by chance. There’s a patch of ground beside the River Tees, heavy downpours expose all sorts of broken pot, glass, bits of pipes and wonderful oyster shells.

During a walk I came across a small shard, green and black stripe, an edge of an old plate or saucer. After a thorough clean I chanced drilling holes, often pieces shatter due to age and condition but thankfully the ceramic stayed intact. I gently sanded the material and created these one off earrings. Similar in shape and pattern but not exact.

The idea is to create something new from old. The finished piece isn’t meant to be perfect or highly polished but instead retains part of the original character of the ceramic.

Each earring measures approximately 16mm x 9mm x 3mm(widest)

Approximate full drop 35mm.

Hanging Sterling Silver 925 hooks and jump rings.

Delivered in gift box, gift bag made with recycled materials and comes with short bio.

Designed by Stephanie in Barnard Castle
