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?

I sort of made someone cry recently, and that folks, is why I'm issuing a bit of a heartfelt plea as we head up to Christmas in 2020. Give this vlog a watch and you may understand. Even if it's just one gift this year, take a couple of clicks to pick up something from a small business, not a mass retailer. Join the just a card (or brooch, or socks...) movement. Shout out and share the makers, bakers, stitchers, painters you love in the comments below! Nottingham Etsy Team: https://www.etsy.com/uk/people/425nc5tj3hz2ey8i?tab=shops
And check the video description on youtube itself for details about Just A card, and links for where all the cards shown in this video were purchased from! I'm almost pretty much done and happy with my studio, it's wee, but cleverly set up so everything I need is stashed away yet also easy to grab from my desk. I'll be going into more details soon about what's in here, why and how it works for me, but meanwhile enjoy a brief wizz round by video. (Incidentally, you can find and follow my brand spanking new youtube channel here.) |
