5 out of 5 starsThis is a lovely little piece, and has much more character in person than I expected. Teeth and bone fragments have special significance for me, and this pendant is like reliquary for that meaning. I look forward to getting more pieces from this artist.

About

I live and work in an abandoned hospital in Lancashire
-
Sheldon, the star of channel 4's ''all creatures great and stuffed''
-
Collecting dead flies from the window sills of the old hospital. Many bugs are found naturally deceased here.
-
Naturally deceased and found roadkill, fauna and flora made into beautiful jewellery, hair clips, art and Taxidermy.
Back in 2011 Nicola Hebson was busy in the countryside collecting and pressing beautiful flowers for art projects. Already having boxes filled with naturally deceased flies and animal parts, Nicola decided she was going to find a way to preserve them forever. Inspired by the film 'jurassic park' she went on to teach herself how to make resin jewellery. And so Dead Good Jewellery was born!
Nicola Hebson is also a self taught taxidermist and a Fine art Bachelor in painting. With a passion for travelling and nature, a lot of inspiration has come from trips to India, where jewellery makers are in abundance.
Nicola has been featured on several tv shows such as channel 4's documentary ''all creatures great and stuffed'' , history channel's ''no county for old men'' , bbc north west tonight and Itv's ''This morning''. She has also had numerous articles written about her online, most notable include VICE.COM, BUST magazine and beautiful decay.
You might bump into Nicola on her travels around many u.k festivals such as Alchemy festival, boomtown, beatherder festival, pendle witch camp and many other small pagan style festivals!
If your in Lancashire and you see a strange looking girl bagging up dead pheasants from the roadside in an early morning, it might just be Miss Hebson.

IMPORTANT!
All the animals and insects seen in my work have died of natural causes, roadkill accidents or found already dead. Occasionally i will be donated deceased pets remains, and i also find animal bones when out walking in the British countryside. I would NEVER kill another sentient being for the purposes of my art, nor would i get anyone to do it for me. Through my art and jewellery i wish to honour the insect or animal's life, celebrate it's beauty and celebrate the beauty that nature creates. There is nothing more beautiful than the things we see in nature!
I lead a 'vegan' lifestyle, some might say this is controversial because i use dead things in my art. I beg to differ. In no way do i exploit animals or insects, nor do i encourage anyone to. I use animals that have been left to rot and i carefully bring them back to life and honour their spirit, and i do it with the upmost love an care. Its just the same as someone picking up a shell off the beach, the soul occupant of the body has left back into the ether and i am using the natural resources left over that are available for me to use and admire. I have a deep appreciation and respect for all life on this Earth. I hark back to a time when people ate a diet mainly consisting of fruit and vegetables, when these types of food where in natural abundance, and when they came across a naturally deceased animal, they would use it to make clothes, art or tools. I believe these types of people existed, and i am the reincarnation of that.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR PURCHASE
All my resin pieces are made from jewellers grade resin which is non-toxic and uv resistant. However to help keep it in the best condition please keep it away from extreme heat and dampness.
Please separate your jewelry from sharp, rough items to reserve its smoothness. The surface of resin may become cloudy after wearing for a while, you can rub it on a piece of soft fabric and optional fibreglass/ceramic polish to bring back the shine.
Remember to take off a dead good ring when doing the washing up etc.. to ensure longevity of the piece.
Taxidermy accessories should be kept inside packaging when not in use.
Taxidermy pieces should ideally be kept behind glass, but if not dust may gather on them. If dust gathers you can either hoover them on a very very light setting, or dust them outside with a little dry toothbrush.
Do not get taxidermy pieces damp or wet.
CUSTOM PIECES
If you can't find what you like in my shop and would have a customised item I will be happy to help. Just send me a message and describe what you are looking for,
I will do my best.
FUNERAL ASHES
I also offer a service of preserving a deceased loved ones funeral ashes inside jewellery. All you have to do is send me a small amount of ashes in the post , say a teaspoon, and i can make them into beautiful necklaces to remember your loved ones.
I can also preserve a range of other sentimental things including , Hair, teeth, umbilical cord, small dead pet fish, toenails, flowers, anything!
