About this item
Ceramic Discovered The River Tees Barnard Castle, Co Durham December 2024 Handcrafted into Pendant January 2025 On a cold wet December day while walking beside The River Tees in Barnard Castle I found three shards of ceramic near the water's edge. This pendant is made from one of those pieces, red outline of leaves design. I managed to drill a hole and gently clip the rough edges. This naturally created the final shape of the pendant. I've sanded and smoothed the edges and back. Front glaze partially in tact giving the piece a lovely shine. Irregular triangle shape highlights the pattern and adds to the overall unique design. Found by chance old lost ceramic starts a new life as a one of a kind pendant. 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 shard's journey. Pendant measures 35 mm x 25 mm x 2 mm. Hanging on 46cm 925 sterling silver snake 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.

I've sanded and smoothed the edges and back. Front glaze partially in tact giving the piece a lovely shine. Irregular triangle shape highlights the pattern and adds to the overall unique design.

Useful Information
You can cancel the order and get a refund from the maker within 14 days of receipt, provided the item has not been used. Faulty items can be returned within six months of payment being made.
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.
All ceramic personally collected from river banks, charity shops, recycle centres, beaches, wherever dropped, dumped or donated ceramics are found, cleaned and shaped into new stories. Each item comes with a short bio. 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. 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.
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. I love collecting ceramic discarded, lost, forgotten, damaged or just not wanted any more. 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-worked and crafted into something new. Bits and bobs found by chance waiting to find new homes.
