Meet the maker Zoe Mitchell

Hello, I'm the Urban Magpie and I create one of a kind pieces of jewellery using antiques, salvage and scrap. They're wonderful, whimsical and sometimes weird.

I'm attracted to attracted to shiny objects, architectural salvage, vintage beads, jumble sales, broken jewellery, old watches, co-axle wire, charity shops, street finds, archaeological digs, old coins, foreign stamps, flea markets, Grandma's jewellery box, bendy straws, plastic spoons, old mens' sheds, Marie-Antoinette's dressing table and everything in between.

Each piece of Urban Magpie jewellery comes to you wrapped up in beautiful and interesting papers, tied with a ribbon, with a label telling you its story and what it's made from. So you know you've acquired something a little bit special.
