These beautiful china earrings are hand made by Judy Newton.
They are recycled from a J & G Meakin piece and are formed into a leaf shape, which hang on round sterling silver rings.
Judy Newton lives and works from her studio in New Brighton, Ōtautahi /Christchurch. She has recently returned to Te Wai Pounamu/the South Island after 23 years in West Auckland, predominantly in the beautiful bush and sea suburb of Titirangi, West Auckland.
The materials she uses in her jewellery include coloured window glass, stone, ceramic (broken china), and sterling silver. All pieces are individually shaped and engraved, using diamond equipment. Judy uses recycled materials as much as possible e.g. the glass works are made from off-cuts sourced from leadlight-glass studios; the ‘pressed’ glass often had a former life in the doors and windows of old villas.
The idea of giving materials a new life in another direction appeals – broken china or off-cut glass becoming a personal adornment.
Judy’s family were ‘rock hounds’ and she grew up spending hours looking for agate, petrified wood and pounamu in the rivers and beaches of Te Wai Pounamu, the South Island. Judy finds inspiration in the natural landscape of New Zealand and Pacific designs.
