Don't Cry Over Broken China - Recycle It Into Stunning Jewelry!

PR Log (Press Release) – Aug 26, 2008 – Marjorie Cunningham of Wall Township, New Jersey, is the owner of Marjorie's Cracked Plate Jewelry Store.  Marjorie knows the value placed on treasured china, some of which has been in families for many generations.  China holds special meaning for most of us.  There's your grandmother's favorite bone china teacup from England that now has a broken handle.  The oriental vase that graced your parents' table for so many years slipped out of your hands last week, broke into pieces and now resides in a bag thrown in the back of your closet.   Or perhaps you'd like something special created for your teenage daughter as she graduates high school - maybe something out of that Beatrice Potter dish that she loved as a child.

And what better way to give new life to your broken china than to recycle them into stunning jewelry.  China holds many memories for its owners and this is Marjorie's way of preserving those memories for many more years to come.  This is a totally "green" method of creating jewelry and fits in so well with today's awareness of recycling.  The artwork and beauty of china, whether antique or modern, will no longer be lost due to its fragility.

Marjorie's jewelry is designed entirely by hand, using wire wrap and wire crochet techniques.  No glue or soldering is used in her jewelry.  Each piece is her own unique design and is one of a kind.  This is not costume jewelry, which is mass produced, but rather art jewelry, designed with creativity and style.  The jewelry designed by Marjorie goes with any type of clothing - from vintage to modern.  When you purchase a piece of jewelry from Marjorie's Cracked Plate Jewelry Store, you'll know that you are buying a unique, one-of-a-kind creation that will be admired by all who see it.

In addition to taking custom orders, Marjorie also has a large assortment of jewelry that she has designed from lovely china that she has come across herself.  You'll find pendants, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, rings, brooches and earrings, including pieces designed from china such as Limoge, Richard Ginon, Nippon, Lenwile Ardalt and Crest-O-Gold.

In keeping with the "cracked" theme, Marjorie includes jewelry designed from sea glass, which is broken glass that has been smoothed and shaped naturally in the sea.  Her broken shell jewelry is totally unique and innovative.  As with the broken china, her sea glass and shell jewelry incorporates wire wrapping and wire crochet techniques.  Her sea glass and shells have been collected personally on the Jersey Shore where Marjorie has resided all of her life.
