Broken Pottery Pendant - White Flower With Green Background

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:47:40 -0500

$20.00
A wonderful Etsian had a horrible accident in her kitchen and much of her wedding pottery, handmade in Poland, was smashed. I've already created a beautiful bracelet for her and am now listing some of the items created from the leftover shards. You can read about the incident in my blog here: http://brokenchinatreasures.blogspot.com/2009/01/poland-pottery-accident-whole-kitchen.html

This is a square pendant showcasing a creamy white flower with a yellow center on a green background. What a fun and cheery piece!! The last two pictures shows the back side of the pendant.

The pendant is about 1" square and about 1 1/2" long with the silver tone bail. This is a fairly thick piece, measuring approximately about 1/4" thick.

Broken China Pendant - Black and White Triangle

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:42:55 -0500

$20.00
I always seem to be wearing black and white so when I came across this black and white china pattern, I couldn't resist. I was able to get so much out of this plate (2 business card holders and many pendants).

This triangular pendant is approximately 1 1/4" wide with a total length of 1 7/8" (including bail). The great scrolly design almost resembles a heart shape. This could easily become a classic piece that you turn to frequently!

Please remember that the broken china jewelry is made from old, chipped and/or broken dishes (pottery, china, porcelain). Many times there will be scratches on the surface of the plate from everyday use. I believe this adds to the character and authenticity of the piece. This particular pendant does have some "use scratches" on its surface but is not very noticeable.

Blue Willow Pagoda Broken China Pendant

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:54:57 -0500

$20.00
A portion of a pagoda from the Blue Willow pattern. This piece came from a vintage plate and has crazing and scratches to add to its authenticity. It also was cut very close to the bend in the plate and curves up a little at the bottom left corner. Quite unique!!

The broken china has been encased in a lead free silver alloy bezel and embellished with small dots around the edge.

The pendant measures about 1" wide and has a total length of approximately 1 1/2" (including silver tone bail). The bail is a good size and would accommodate most chains. It would look great with a silver chain or black cord.

Broken China Pendant - Antique Red and Beige Square

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:38:40 -0500

$20.00
This is a beautiful old fashioned type pendant depicting a leaf in antique red and beige colors with decorative dots around the edge. This is not a true red, but a little washed out and subtle.

This pendant is approximately 1" square. The total length about 1 1/2" (including the bail).

Please remember that the broken china jewelry is made from old, chipped and/or broken dishes (pottery, china, porcelain). Many times there will be scratches on the surface of the plate from everyday use. I believe this adds to the character and authenticity of the piece. This particular pendant does have some "use scratches" on its surface but is not very noticeable.

Lilac Heart - Broken China Pendant/Necklace

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:04:28 -0500

$20.00
A lovely lilac flower (daisy maybe?) with a yellow center graces this heart shaped pendant. This china came from a vintage plate that was destined for the trash.

This cute little heart measures approximately 1" wide and 1 1/4" long (including silver bail). Put your favorite silver chain or other necklace through the silver toned bail and you have a beautiful necklace.

A darling piece!

I meticulously hand cut and shape each pendant with care, carefully add a lead free, silver alloy along the edge, and decorate it with tiny dots or scallops.

Blue and White Teardrop Shaped Broken China Pendant

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 10:48:07 -0400

$18.00
This is a blue and white rose pattern in a teardrop shaped broken china pendant.

The pendant is approximately 7/8" wide and about 1 7/8" long (including silver bail). A very classy and vintage looking piece!

Please note that this is made from actual used china. There may be crazing and/or use marks which only adds to the authenticity of the piece.

This will definitely be an heirloom piece to pass down for generations!
