Description

Wall Tile Purchased April 2024 Handcrafted into Pendant October 2025 I bought two sample small tiles, handmade and ethically produced, for use as wall decoration. However, sadly both were broken on delivery and instead of throwing away I decided to use what I could. Most of the patterns were cracked and shattered so not much could be saved. I managed to create this pendant from the pattern which ran around the edges of one of the tiles. The final piece is abstract and set into an open back claw bezel made from recycled sterling silver. Usually this type of bezel tray is used for more 3D settings but I like the way the shard of tile sits flat held by the four claws. 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 often show tiny marks left by the process of creation and recycling. Hanging on 18 inch recycled sterling silver chain. Set in 18 mm x 13 mm x 2 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.

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 finds personally collected from river banks, recycle shops, beaches, wherever dropped, lost or donated. Ceramics are found, cleaned and shaped into new stories. Every piece is individual, nothing replicated, however, due to repetitive patterns 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.

Read the Folksy Returns Policy.

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. Reuse and repurpose materials that would otherwise be thrown away. To capture times gone by, unique moments in time. To produce one of a kind gifts, unique in every way.
