Pottery Jewellery – Bespoke Commissions:

Making your beach finds in to jewellery:

Following the launch last year of our Keepsake Jewellery service, we have been so thrilled to undertake some lovely bespoke commissions with clients’ beach finds.

I wanted to share a recent commission that we undertook in the studio with a beautiful beach find in the form of a lovely piece of pottery. It’s lovely to be given a challenge of an unusual material and turn it into a photogenic piece of pottery jewellery.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”2814″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” img_link_target=”_blank” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100{bf9a968572e7ebb68f246158f0b8da6c4ea2bd1e341039728af7ec2198186826}” img_link=”http://saloukee.com/keepsake-jewellery/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Beach Pottery:

I love beach pottery, beautifully polished by the sea and so tactile to the touch. Also known as ‘sea pottery’, ‘sea china’ and ‘sea porcelain’. This naturally tumbled material is usually made from earthenware, stoneware or porcelain.

Much of the beach pottery that’s found in the United Kingdom and United States is said to have originated from discarded 18th and 19th century porcelain made in Europe and America.

I like to think of the journey it’s been on and whose table it might have graced as a full pot or plate once upon a time. I love the thought of it then telling a new story, after it’s been beachcombed by its finder-keeper.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”center” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”2818,2817,2816″ onclick=”link_no”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Found Pottery:

So the recent piece of pottery jewellery we made was a lovely silver pendant with a rub over setting. The piece of pottery was found on a beach by our my client who thought it might have dated back to the Victorian era – what an honour!

She had it made as a sentimental gift for a friend, what a lovely gift to open on your birthday. A memory for the both of them, freeze framed and elevated, as a keepsake forever![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”2815″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” img_link_target=”_blank” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100{bf9a968572e7ebb68f246158f0b8da6c4ea2bd1e341039728af7ec2198186826}” img_link=”http://saloukee.com/keepsake-jewellery/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Your own piece of pottery jewellery:
