Donations for upcycling 
If you have any unwanted or worn out leather/suede items that aren't really good enough for charity shops i.e. jackets and bags that are stained, ripped or have broken zips, even small items in brighter or unusual colours, then why not donate them to my recycled leather collection?

 In return I will make you an item from the range so you can have a useful memento of your once-loved item.

 More info here on my Facebook page.

 Please contact me at jane@amelia-parker to discuss postage/delivery/collection.

Clay pipe necklaces – horizontal pendants

As shown here, pendant sizes vary due to the age and size of the fragments used.

All horizontal necklaces are made by wiring 4, 5 or 6 fragments together to form a pendant using silver-plated copper wire and findings on waxed cotton cords. 

 Cord lengths are approx 45cm, although they can be altered or made to suit.

 A selection of horizontal pendants can be found here.

Matching earrings available.

Available from my Etsy shop

Cufflinks

Made from two fragments that have been cut in half, sanded and sealed. 
This is the only product I make where the fragments have been in some way altered because finding matching pieces at these small sizes is difficult.

Available in two designs... with flip-backs (in stock) or chains (to order).

A overview is shown above.

Available from my Etsy shop

A photograph of available stock can be emailed to you – Please enquire for details.




Single pieces

Long or unusual* fragments are available as single pendants on 50cm/18" 1mm cotton cords.
Silver snake chains also available, as shown on the right. 
Find them in my Etsy shop

Other single pieces are also available with loops but no cords for you to use as pendants, charms, tags, zip toggles etc. Please enquire for further information.

*The protruding round stubby bits on some of these pieces are the bases/rests of the pipes. More info here.

Created with five pipe fragments and recycled beads (wood, lapiz, jade, coral, metal, acrylic, glass or even cork). Silver plated toggle clasps also vary; some are plain, some chunky, some flowery.

Earrings

Single drops for pierced ears

Many more fragments are paired ready to be wired as earrings or symmetrical pendant designs, so do get in touch if the size, length or colour you require isn't available in the online shop.




Chokers


This unisex style is designed to sit at the collar bone and is made using one of the chunkier fragments threaded onto 2mm waxed cotton cord with silver plated fixings and beads that will (and are designed to) tarnish over time.

 Every choker is different and the fragments used for this style are some of the oldest collected.

For the boys
Men seem to appreciate how the jewellery can evolve and change colour over time and the 9 images below show bracelets that have been made with men in mind. These are not all in stock but can be made to order. The two images middle and bottom right show before and after photos of the same bracelet worn constantly for a few months – the dark metal beads have tarnished back to copper, and the fragments have taken on a sheen, having absorbed the skin's natural oils.

Note also the image bottom left, which has been worn for a few months, and compare the clay pipe fragments to those in the top row. 





Please note that the images here are for indication only – the products shown may not now be available.
