Description

Ceramic Shard Discovered The River Tees Barnard Castle Co Durham April 2025 Handcrafted into Pendant October 2025 Walking The River Tees, Barnard Castle I found a small cluster of ceramic shards, blue and white designs. After a thorough clean I started to work on one of the pieces to create a large pendant or decoration. However, as I sanded the shard crumbled and I was left with a lovely flower pattern. I mangled to slowly sand and polish by hand to thin the ceramic. This created a lovely circular shape, perfect for a bezel tray. The idea is to create something new from old and use recycled materials to produce individual, unique distinctive gifts. The finished piece isn't meant to be perfect but instead retain part of the original character, including marks and scratches, all part of the history of the materials used. Ceramic and Sterling Silver is either recycled or repurposed and likely to show tiny marks left by the process of creation. Hanging on 18 inch recycled sterling silver chain. Set in 13 mm recycled silver bezel tray. Both polished and hallmarked 925. 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. Complete with short bio and FSC®-certified gift bag. All materials used are from sustainable sources and can be recycled.
