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, especially things that have been discarded. Anything that looks lost, forgotten or damaged and not wanted any more. Favourite places of mine to discover bits is rivers or beaches. I am 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. Another amazing place is recycling centres where for very little I can rescue an old pot or plate. Charity shops have so many interesting pieces, bits and bobs of lives all waiting to find new homes.
You have 14 days, from receipt, to notify the seller if you wish to cancel your order or exchange an item.

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 titled piece comes with bio of where the ceramic came from, known history, original information and when the artwork was created. Some ceramics collected are used as found, while others are cut randomly which will shape the final picture. 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.
Full description
Created from ceramic wall plate discovered August 2020
Re-Created into earrings August 2021
In August 2020 I found a small decorative wall plate which was damaged and destined for recycling. I love collecting and immediately saw how attractive the pattern appeared with intricate swirls and flowers. The plate was chipped and cracked badly but realised the detailed pattern would be perfect for creating shards for any project but particularly small pieces of jewellery.
I gently clipped the plate with a small tile cutter, the ceramic broke into tiny pieces some random shapes formed but due to the make-up of the material many little shards were created in similar shapes.
No two shards are the same, the nature of the original pattern dictates many pieces are very similar and suggest lovely delicate patterned jewellery.
These earrings are made from the rim, I’ve sanded and sealed the edges. The colours and delicate pattern creates a truly unique pair of earrings.
Both earrings are approximately 20mm x 11mm x 2mm
Full drop 35mm
