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 that have been 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.
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 titled piece comes with a short 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 discovered in
charity Shop Bishop Auckland March 2022
Re-Created into Earrings March 2022
I found a few interesting pieces of ceramic in a charity shop, Bishop Auckland, Co Durham. Some were rescue plates, cracked or badly damaged, others were stand out pieces, slightly damaged, all reduced to clear or for recycling.
These earrings are made from a small damaged tea cup, I gently clipped the cup to create random shapes. Two short pieces formed, both from the body of the cup with similar parts of the pattern, abstract brown. The backs show parts of the internal pattern of the cup, one earring shows a lot of the design the other only slightly.
I’ve sanded, sealed the edges, front and back glaze in tact.
The idea is create new from old, the finished piece isn’t meant to be perfect or highly polished. Instead retain part of the original character.
Delivered in gift box, gift bag made from recycled materials and short bio.
Sterling Silver posts and backs
Measures approximately 20mm x 10mm (widest) x 3mm
Full drop approximately 37mm
