βThis recycled sterling silver range is all about the material. Silver transforms when heated, the elements expand and contract, relax and bubble. Reticulation is the process of creating surface texture with heat.
Combining rich texture with relatively simple curvy shapes, the addition of clear enamel helps highlight and add contrast, but also adds an element of chance. Different firing temperatures can result in different colours, this holds endless fascination and inspiration.β
If the earrings you feel drawn to are sold out they can be made by order. Feel free to send us a msg if you are interested in a certain style and allow 4 weeks for the artist to make your piece.

Penny's Candles are not only beautiful, smell amazing and are handmade, they are the by-product of a much greater purpose... The Australian bee population! Penny decided to keep bees out of concern for their plight and in doing so, found the benefits to be vast. These of course are: access to excess honey (taken to stop swarming), their wonderful job of pollinating Penny's garden and of course, beeswax; which Penny utilised to bring these lovely candles into existence.
Those extremely cute creatures add a wonderful magical touch to any kids tea party.
