Handmade Upcycled Jewellery




Upcycling is like recycling, except you are turning something unused into something better than it was before. I like to use old cutlery and other metal items in my upcycling. Most of my upcycled jewellery is made from silver-plated spoons. Although they are harder to work with than sterling silver cutlery, I feel I am making more of an impact on the environment. Most sterling silver cutlery will be melted down, due to the high value of silver scrap, whereas silver-plated spoons can not be melted down, so they end up sat in drawers and attics, unused and unloved. I want to take these unused family heirlooms, and turn them into something modern and practical. 

When using sterling silver cutlery for jewellery, I try to make my designs original. I like to use semi-precious stones to add colour, and pierce out designs into the bowls of spoons, to make them more unique..


My upcycled jewellery is available in my online store here, and also in my Etsy shop.
