The idea is to create something new from old, the finished piece isn't meant to be perfect. Instead, retain marks, stains and scratches, part of the original character of the ceramic. All Sterling Silver is either recycled or repurposed.
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, full of history and character. To present and deliver unique Eco Friendly gifts in Sustainable Packaging.
Reuse and repurpose materials that would otherwise be thrown away. To capture times gone by, unique moments in time.
To produce one of a kind gifts, unique in every way.

Additional terms
All finds personally collected from river banks, recycle shops, beaches, wherever dropped, lost or donated. Ceramics are found, cleaned and shaped into new stories. Every piece is individual, nothing replicated, however, due to repetitive patterns there will be some similarity but only through the ceramic material not in the final piece. Ceramic will show marks, scratches and imperfections, all part of its history and journey.
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.

Ceramic discovered
The River Tees
Barnard Castle
Co Durham
March 2024
Handcrafted into
Pendant November 2025
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 March wet day 2024 I came across the bottom part of a pot. The base was slightly raised and had a lovely dark blue pattern on the inside. The material isn’t finely finished with a few bumps in the glaze.
After a thorough clean I stored and came across it while having a clear out. I really love the dark blue so decided to attempt to shape the piece. I managed to sand gently, creating a round pendant. Set into an open back claw bezel, front glaze still in tact, you can still see the bumps in the ceramic.
The idea is to create something new from old, 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/scratches, all part of the history of the ceramic and materials used.
Set in a 20 mm round claw bezel made from 925 Recycled Sterling Silver.
Hanging on 18 inch 925 Recycled Sterling Silver chain.
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.
Designed by Stephanie in Barnard Castle
