Upcycled CD 'Pebble' New Collection Statement Necklace and matching Earrings

KTCD Jewellery was born of a passion for recycling and beautiful jewellery. Kate began making jewellery from old CD's in 2018, developing her own process to create unique pieces that resemble Murano glass. Her curiosity of what could be created from reclaimed materials lead to the inclusion of more unusual and unexpected collections. At KTCD Jewellery you will find; compact discs, recycled bicycle inner tube, computer circuit boards, electric cable, wine cork and even Lego! All rescued from landfill and handcrafted to re-emerge as jewellery to treasure, from simple studs you can wear every day, to larger statement pieces.

This new collection of cd earrings are designed to look like pieces of shattered glass - each piece is asymmetric and the pair,although balanced, are purposely mismatched. i am more than happy to send a photo before ordering.

I hand craft every single piece myself - I prepare the cd by removing the label, cut the cd by hand, paint each piece and then fire, making the finished tiles into beautiful jewellery. It is a long process but very rewarding - the finished tiles always make me smile after such a long process - they really do look like squares of Murano glass - and then putting them together to make a really special piece of jewellery.

All the earrings are very light and comfortable to wear - even the large, dramatic pieces.

There is so much plastic in our world that goes into landfill or the oceans, this is my small contribution to repurposing some of that unwanted plastic. I hope wearing my jewellery will bring you joy, not only from its beauty but also the feeling of wearing something that was unwanted created into something new - and sparkly! I hope it will start a conversation about what we can reuse in our homes - even the packaging is recycled!
