Break It!

Juliet Ames of Baltimore likes to break things. Recycled and vintage plates to be exact. She fashions one-of-a-kind jewelry and belt buckles by wrecking wedding china and other sentimental ceramic shards and enjoys doing custom work. I love how she finds just the perfect color or pattern in the broken pieces and turns it into something spectacular. Here’s some work via her site, The Broken Plate Pendant Company.
