Ceramic Shard discovered The River Tees Barnard Castle Co Durham June 2025 Handcrafted into Pendant November 2025 I love collecting anything broken, lost or found by chance. A small patch of ground beside the River Tees gets boggy and drenched during heavy rains. The downpours expose all sorts of broken pot, glass, bits of pipes and wonderful oyster shells. On a bright sunny June day I found a striking piece of ceramic. After a thorough clean I gently clipped the shard to create different shapes. Sadly a lot of it shattered and I was left with only two pieces. One of the shards had a lovely leaf still in tact. Over a few days I managed to shape by hand into a small round which fitted nicely into an open back claw bezel. I particularly like the muted colour and the way the four claws add to the design. The idea is to create something new from old and use recycled materials to produce unique jewellery. The finished piece isn't meant to be perfect but instead retain part of the original character, including marks and scratches, all part of the history of the ceramic and materials used. Set in a 13 mm round bezel made from Recycled Sterling Silver. Hanging on 18 inch Recycled Sterling Silver chain. Both polished and hallmark 925. 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 and gift bag.
