Locally handcrafted jewellery by Aida in solid Sterling, Argentium, Fine silver and Gold, with the beauty of natural precious or semi precious stones, pearls, or pottery shards and sea glass found on Jersey beaches. The natural precious and semiprecious stones and pearls are from reputable sources in the UK. The pottery shards and sea glass have all been found on Jersey beaches. The pottery shards originate from the English-Chinese tea trade. Ships were loaded with tea crates in China and plates were used as ballast. On their return to the UK, ships would take shelter from bad weather around the Channel Islands with unfortunate consequences due to the rocky seashores. Those shards show up after high tide or stormy weather and it is a family tradition to collect them with our children or on our beach walks. I think they are so beautiful that I feel they deserve a proper setting.
