A medium sized disc made from lovely old floral tin, with a pearl inside the dome shape, and an oxidised silver earwire.
The Antique Collection of jewellery is inspired by the shapes, designs and colours of antique jewellery. Kate uses the most old-fashioned tins to make these beautiful pieces of dressy jewellery. Turquoise beads and pearls complete the vintage look to this collection. All the chains and findings in this range are oxidised sterling silver.
Kate can make bespoke jewellery pieces similar to these if you send us a vintage biscuit tin that has sentimental value for you. This is a lovely way to make something wearable from a family heirloom.
Kate began her working life as a seamstress, specialising in bespoke bridal gowns. After four years in college and 5 years teaching Art & Design, a career change was brought about by a discovery of metal.
Starting with aluminium, copper and brass, Kate soon discovered a new material from which to make jewellery - recycled and reclaimed biscuit tins. Now officially a biscuit tin expert, Kate designs most of the jewellery herself and makes the Antique range to order. She is currently developing a gallery range of one-off pieces.
