Recycled Plectrum Waterfall Earrings
These fabulous earrings are a combined version of our standard plectrum earrings and our waterfalls.
Using personal recycled store cards and credit cards, making each pair unique and special to the individual.
Made from sterling silver hooks and navette chain links these earrings make a statement but remain light and easy to wear.
Each card has been cut by hand to create interesting and pleasing compositions, then individually attached to the navette chain providing lots of movement and light reflections from the metallic elements on the cards.

Oddities and Curiosities
For this exhibition at the Harbour Gallery in February 2018, the theme was ‘steampunk circus.’ We designed a series of recycled plectrum earrings with a steampunk aesthetic called our oddities and curiosities collection. We used recycled business cards, bank cards, registration cards etc. and cut them into plectrum shapes which were then adorned with semi-precious stone, pearls and all finished off with sterling silver handmade findings. A range of recycled guitar plectrum necklaces with semi-precious stones complemented the earring collection. All the pieces were displayed on recycled 7 and 12 inch vinyl records which we up-cycled with environmental chalk paint.
