Arts & Crafts - Saint Austell, England, United Kingdom
Recycled jewellery handmade in Cornwall using beach found materials and remade vintage jewellery: I like to combine these recylced materials with handmade, hammered chain; pretty semi-precious stones and freshwater pearls; and hand-crocheted or wirework settings.I've always loved going to jumbles sales, car boots, rumaging around in junk and antique shops, and I've always collected quirky, unusal bits of antique jewellery. It's just a natural progression to want to make these pieces I collect into modern jewellery to be worn in a contemporary way.I encourage customers to bring me, or send me, their own antique pieces to be made into modern jewellery: they then know the history of the piece and have an emotional link to the new necklace/bracelet or tiara.I make the most of Cornwall with lots of bracing beach and woodland walks (they have the added bonus of tiring out my lads and dog!). I naturally just pick up things, such as sea-glass and beach plastic,that look interesting when I'm out, then work these into jewellery later.I sell my jewellery through galleries, fashion boutiques and bridal shops nationwide http://www.sarahdrew.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=1 , as well as directly from my website. I've supplied jewellery and tiaras to large shops such as Liberty, Harrods and Browns Bride in London and I've had lots of pieces featured in editorial in magazines such as ‘Brides', ‘Wedding', ‘Wedding Ideas' and ‘You and Your Wedding'. As well as designing and making my jewellery collections, I look after my 2 boys and teach Recycled and Vintage jewellery-making workshops at the Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery, St Austell College, West Dean College in Chichester and at lovely, posh hotels and gorgeous beach cafes round Cornwall: you can keep up-to-date with the next courses here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/i-love-handmade-things/194162186433?ref=ts.
