Unique and beautiful jewellery created from everyday objects from a bygone age

Can you imagine striking a match on a sterling silver match box, keeping your stamps safe in a handcrafted silver stamp case or doing up your buttons with an exquisitely engraved silver button hook? This is what always amazes me when I look at antique silver objects.

There is something magical in the way everyday tools were once miniature works of art. Each piece tells a story of craftsmanship and of a time when beauty met function in the most unexpected ways. Even the simplest of items were made to be admired and last the test of time. These pieces, once practical objects can now be reimagined as sustainable, beautiful and unique jewellery.

Here is a selection of my favourite "everyday object" pieces of jewellery that I currently have online. Each antique silver piece features beautiful engraving and are real treasures from the past.
