Amelia Parker's jewellery, cards and small accessories are created using fragments of clay smoking pipes collected from the foreshores of the River Thames.

| Pairs of pipes, prepped and ready |
Many of these fragments date back to the 16th century and are used as found, having been eroded and coloured by time and tide over hundreds of years – they have not been trimmed to size or enhanced in any way. Commissions welcome.

Update, September 2025: When I started these designs back in late 2008 and decided to use my middle name as the identity I didn't realise that going forward this might not be possible to use for other platforms such as here on Etsy and on Instagram. I will very soon be relaunching and this will include a name change to make things easier for all of us.
