You just never know what you will find when browsing the web. Often times, you'll find the most unique creations that you wouldn't normally be attracted to. Rarely will you find me wearing jewelry, but after coming across the Broken Plate Pendant Co today (thanks to Tricia's favorites on flickr), that is likely to change.
On the verge of having her first baby, Juliet finds the dishes for her collection at thrift and antique shops. Using a hammer and tile clips, she breaks apart the ceramics selectively to create not only necklaces, but also brooches, earrings, cuff links, and rings.
Available at a select number of locations on the East Coast, its easiest to buy Juliet's creations from her Etsy store (already added to my favorite sellers list, of course). According to her latest upload on flickr, a new collection rings should be posted in the Broken Plate store soon (yay). Until then, check out The Broken Plate blog, which has some great online shopping finds.
I've also posted a few of my favorite current Etsy offerings from BPPC; which ones do you adore?

Just beautiful
broken crockery can make wonderful decorative tile, too!
Oui
Very true - that it does. Broken or discarded/non-matching ceramics have many uses; just have to get those creative juices flowing :)
