Have you ever come across a beautiful vintage plate or teacup that, despite its cracks and chips, still felt too precious to discard? What if I told you that such forgotten treasures could be transformed into something entirely new—delicate, meaningful jewelry?
These elegant ceramic earrings and brooch were once part of an old porcelain plate. Instead of ending up in the back of a cupboard or—worse—being thrown away, the plate found a second life as a wearable piece of art. The talented artisan behind this transformation is Piret Pääsuke, whose work gives new purpose to vintage ceramics, turning them into unique accessories that carry the charm and history of the past.
Each piece tells a story—the soft floral patterns, the slightly wavy texture, the gentle signs of time that make it even more special. There’s something poetic about wearing a fragment of history, a piece that once belonged to a different time and place, now reimagined into something personal and beautiful.
Next time you come across a lone saucer or a cracked cup that still speaks to you, consider the possibilities. Could it become a brooch? A pendant? A pair of delicate earrings?
Sustainable creativity is all about seeing beauty where others see waste. And thanks to artists like Piret Pääsuke, old porcelain finds a new purpose—one that you can carry close to your heart.
