Prong set ring

This ring is our take on a prong setting and can be stacked in contrasting colours for an interesting effect.

Lighter necklaces

We have thought about lots of our loyal customers who told us they love wearing our heavier pebble necklaces but feel the weighed down by all that porcelain and silver.
With this new line we are giving your vertabrae a break without compromising on design. Our new range of necklaces are so easy to wear you may forget you have one on.
A small selection will be added to the web store in the next few days.

Summer layers replace winter layers.

Porcelain rings

This style ring was our first foray into making jewellery from clay.
Initially we thought we may some control over the sizing but the stoneware firing process had other ideas! We have found it impossible to gauge how much each ring will shrink in the kiln.
These rings are not cast from a mold, they are hand built so the form is never the same.

Double sided rivet rings

Normally "two faced" is not a positive way of describing someone but "two faced" things are a completely different matter.
Our rivet rings include a double sided porcelain disc that can rotate to show both sides.

Silver overlay necklaces

Out of sight, out of mind.

These porcelain faceted components were made over a year ago but we just couldn't work out what to do with them.
They were put away and forgotten about.
Barbara found them while looking for something else and they sat on our workbench for about 2 weeks (They were too pretty to put back in a drawer and forget about again).
Seeing them sitting there every day helped in keeping them at the forefront of our minds and we found a way to use them.
