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 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.

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 piece comes with a short bio of where the ceramic came from, date found and re-created. Some shards collected are used as found, others are cut randomly which shape the final work. 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.

Created from ceramic discovered in
Charity Shop Harrogate North Yorkshire February 2022
Re-Created into Earrings May 2023
I visited Harrogate North Yorkshire on a very wet, windy cold February day where I found many interesting pieces of ceramic in the charity shops. Some were rescue plates from odds and ends boxes, cracked or badly damaged and others were stand out pieces, slightly damaged and perfect for a new project.
I found a two small plates, slightly faded pattern, pretty and eye catching laid flat on a top shelf. I almost missed them but the plates just caught my eye as I was leaving.
I gently clipped the plates and allowed shards to form and fall onto a cork board. I’ve sanded and sealed the edges, leaving slight tool marks and working with the shapes as they were originally formed. The subtle colours and slight fading really adds a different feel to these earrings. Similar in shape, design and size but completely individual. Full of history.
Delivered in recycled packaging and includes gift box, gift bag and short bio.
Sterling Silver Studs and butterfly backs.
Measures approximately 25mm x 11mm (widest) x 3mm
Full drop approximately 40mm
Designed by Stephanie in Barnard Castle
