SilverandChina preserves memories by upcycling vintage, antique and heirloom items into modern wearable art. I love to take broken teacups and saucers and turn them into unique one of a kind Jewelry items.    Bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces can be made from those old broken teacups and saucers.
Didn't everyone's grandmas have numerous teacups and saucers in her china cabinet!  It seems like we loved those teacups at Grandma's house but then we don't know what to do with them when we inherit them. Granddaughters don't seem to be interested in receiving these teacups and saucers but I bet they would be thrilled to receive some jewelry that they know was made from Grandma's heirloom china.
I found that over the years, it was usually the teacup that broke first. Then you had all these left over saucers. My Grandma used to use them to put underneath a plant ( violets) or to feed the cats. I have found something new to do with these old mismatched saucer.
I take these saucers and use them to make jewelry. To me it was the perfect was to keep a part of Grandma's heirloom china ( or just a teacup and saucer that was her absolute favorite) and have a new way of appreciating it.
The new jewelry or home decor items I make allow me to have a way of keeping Grandma's memory with me every time I wear it!
I love to do custom work. I am delighted to know that a saucer that someone brings me will be able to be given back to them in the form of modern jewelry and that Grandma's china will now have a use and not end up in our landfills.

Custom orders are always welcome!
