Nature-inspired recycled silver jewellery made in the UK.

Sometimes you find lost treasures and you just can't believe it. I've made a few jasper, obsidian and carnelian arrowhead pendants in the past that were sourced from Canada by my lovely Father-In-Law, but I found this raw quartz arrowhead at the bottom of an old jewellery box at a flea market in Newark last Monday. I'd initially overlooked it in the first rummage until it caught my eye as I was leaving. It needed some TLC and a thorough sonic cleaning, but I'm thrilled to have repurposed it in my usual arrowhead style with recycled sterling silver wire and salvaged turquoise agate and lava beads reclaimed from broken necklaces. Did you know that in the past some folks believed clear quartz was fossilised ice? And if a quartz arrowhead protection amulet needed anymore power, you can used the lava bead to carry aromatherapy oil too! . . . #sustainablejewelry #upcycledbrokenjewelry #reclaimedbeads #rawquartz #quartzcrystal #quartzarrowhead #arrowheadnecklace #arrowheadjewelry #recycledsterlingsilver #recycledsilver #reusereducerecycle #clearquartz #quartzamulet #quartztalisman #talismannecklace #protectionamulet #sustainableliving https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc72gxZtHrv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hey remember when I used to post jewellery? 😬 Lately it seems that I’m more about monsters than making, but such is the reality of this November. I’ve been taking on a lot of freelance design work in addition to my huge #stupidanimalhybrids project because with the almost-certain next round of lockdowns hovering, I am concerned that my p/t (aka bill-paying) job may get frozen again, so I’m making hay while the sun shines, so to speak. I am very, very tired. Like, in my soul/bone marrow. Retail at Christmas is a special kind of hell on a good year, but this year... *trails off*. Respect and hope to my fellow retail/service workers out there who are staring down the same possibility. Anyhow, it occurred to me today that I never posted this little aquamarine pendant that I finished last month. It sold so quickly I never had a chance to post about it, but I wanted to show it off; I mean, look at that glow! Aquamarines are most often some degree of tropical blue that bares the same name, but I was lucky to get my hands on 2 uniquely cut soft minty green stones at a gem show last year. This one has gone away to its forever home on the west coast, the other is on my bench where it will likely stay - I’m so in love with it I might just keep it. Hope you’re having a good weekend, friends. More monsters are forthcoming. End transmission. ✨ ... #aquamarine #granulation #minimaliststyle #ladysmith #progressreport #softgreen #greenglow #recycledsilver #stupidanimalhybrids #ontarioartist #shopsmallthischristmas https://www.instagram.com/p/CH4C9SyhRIA/?igshid=1oyg8zd3bvg66
