Have you ever wondered how a badge press works? This video shows you how to use a badge press at home, and it is also ridiculous.
Earlier this year a friend was destashing creative things, and I gained a badge press. While making some test pieces I decided to film the process. Suddenly my brain went "Let's narrate this in the style of the Swedish Chef". Press play below for the minute of insanity that followed. Even if you aren't bothered about badges, the video might make you laugh. SOUND ON ðð

Age shouldn't define you. You can keep reinventing or refining yourself. Now, think that, but with old jewellery turned into new! Fast fashion is a big topic these days, with items often made from poor materials, and intended to be pretty much disposed of after they fall from style. So how about new jewellery in new styles, created from old and unwanted beads, alongside new parts? That's a good way to get your fashion fix, and know that you've helped the world in a small way.
How about wearing jewellery where you'll proudly give renewed life to old beads, mixed alongside new? A little contemporary design blended with some ancient influences, eco-friendly choices in styles you'll find so many ways to wear - The Renewed range launches two weeks from today on June 5th 2021, and gives you all that in a variety of designs!
I have been so excited working on this range, as over the years Perfidious Jewellery has often mixed in parts from old and unwanted jewellery, so after I was sent an old necklace by Samm Designs as part of #doesanyonewant, making a range fully based around renewing old beads really fired my creative juices. It's a shame to see something broken or deemed unfashionable go to waste, when stripped down, cleaned and contemplated, those beads or pendants or chains can be worked into something loved, worn and useful again. It's a great design challenge for me too, as instead of having an idea and then sourcing the parts, I'm inspired by the beads themselves, what's passed to me by other people, or picked up second hand when it otherwise can't be sold as in good condition, gets mixed in with other old parts, new parts, sometimes new parts bought specifically to help make those old beads really sing!

Please show me some love in the comments below, so I know I'm not mad loving this idea - Does a piece catch your eye, do you do the same when making things, would you love to see more people do this?
