This silver tie pin has been inspired by the links of a bicycle chain and has lovingly handcrafted in the UK. It is made from sterling silver sheet and is etched before being cut by hand, I then smooth the edges using files and emery paper before it’s carefully given its shape using a punch and hammer. a 9mm pin is then soldered onto the back. Black and a coloured resin based enamel is added to the etched areas and then the piece is polished.

My jewellery is handmade so may differ slightly to the images shown and all sizes are approximate. Due to differences in screen settings, colours may differ slightly between photos and the physical product.
Over the past couple of years I have been trying to make my jewellery as eco friendly as possible, All the silver sheet and silver chains which I now purchase are made from 100% recycled material (recycled silver is of equal in quality to unrecycled silver), unfortunately some findings aren’t currently made from recycled silver. I have also revamped my packaging and moved away from plastic ‘satin’ pouches and gift boxes which were previously shipped half way around the world to get to me. I now make small pillow boxes inhouse from 80% recycled card, I know this is less glamourous than my previous packaging but it is much better for the environment. The only plastic left in the packaging is the small bag which my jewellery is sealed in to prevent the silver from tarnishing, when I’ve found a suitable alternative and used up my current supply of bags then these will be replaced too. Any bubble wrap/padding used when posting my jewellery is reused and not purchased new.
