Pairs of pipes, prepped and ready
Amelia Parker's jewellery, cards and small accessories are created using fragments of clay smoking pipes collected from the foreshores of the River Thames. 
Many of these fragments date back to the 16th century and are used as found, having been eroded and coloured by time and tide over hundreds of years – they have not been trimmed to size or enhanced in any way. Commissions welcome.


Vintage bric-a brac and antique ephemera also available

My selling site Recycled London is not just for my clay pipe creations. 

I also offer unusual vintage and antique items such as old tobacco, toffee and biscuit tins which are good for storage or display, plus Art Deco buttons and other miscellaneous items.

Please do enquire if you can't find what you are looking for as I have much more than is listed.

Bespoke and commissioned pieces

Larger statement pieces, similar to the vertical pendants with three or five fragments, are sometimes available – the longer fragments are harder to source and, therefore, available stock is often limited.
Check in my Etsy shop for pre-made versions.



Long chains
The image below shows a necklace made using 25mm/1" fragments. At 80cm/32" long, it is multi-functional as it can be worn in three ways – as a long necklace, as a double short necklace, or as a bracelet.
Please note, this specific item is not for sale but similar necklaces can be made to order. Please enquire for details.
There are more items in this range – 2-chain necklaces, bracelets and earrings.














Statement pieces make a great impact.
Shown below left is a long length made from older fragments and worn four times around the neck for a tribal look. Below right is a red cotton strand approximately three metres long which can be worn in a variety of ways.















Or, why not send in your old necklaces or beads and have them transformed into something new and truly unique, as shown below...?

Necklaces – vertical designs V3s and V5s

Every pipe fragment is unique, therefore every necklace is unique.
Fragment sizes vary due to their age.
Centre-pieces vary from 30–90mm long / 4–10mm wide.
Some examples are shown here – the un-modelled images are all in proportion:


All made with silver-plated wire and findings on 2mm 18"/45cm waxed cotton cords (1mm, black, charcoal or natural) – lengths can be altered. 
Please visit my Etsy shop to see what's available find out more. 

However, I have many more V3s and V5s available as shown below. Please note that the V5s in the top pic are shown at a larger size than the V3s on the next to panels – if you would like to see close-up pics of any of these, please contact me


Can you spot the one V4 in there?!

Closely-matching items such as bracelets and earrings also available.
