Jewellery designer and maker Cindy Dempsey, has had a love and an interest for this material since the 70s. It is called Motor Agate but that she calls Fordite. This is where it comes from... In the early days of car manufacturing, when they were painted, excess paint would collect on the floor and then it would get backed with the car, to dry the paint on it. This would happen time after time with each layer backed again and again. When the paint accumulation and started getting in the way, the workers would have to remove it and throw it way. As you can appreciate, it was something that they put off as much as they could as it was a tedious job. Someone then saw the potential of this material and eventually groups of people, started touring car manufacturers offering to clean this by-product of car building. Now, that supply has gone, because cars are painted using an electrostatic method, that does not create waste paint. We have shown examples of this car paint rock formations in the article, which make these beautiful and unique jewellery designs. They also produce Cabochons (a stone polished but not cut into facets) which we have shown at the end of the article.

Ever thought you could make Jewellery out of paper? Jeremy May has and he did "Literary Jewels". He produces Rings, Bracelets, Necklaces / Pendants and Earrings. We have chosen to focus on the Rings as they display the best of the characteristics of this fascinating and beautiful means of production. Pages are taken from books. Music Scores Colour Paper... May does not reveal his process, except for saying that it is some kind of laminating process, but does not go into details as to how he gets these precision lines on them. Because the paper he uses is always different, his creations are guaranteed to be a one-off and virtually impossible to reproduce. To get the best effect, once in the article you can enlarge the image by pressing it (not the first one).

Italian Architect and Artist from Quilly Paper Design uses paper to make jewelry earrings, bracelets and necklaces. The method she uses to shape the paper is called Quilling. Quilling is an art form that uses a number strips of paper rolled up to accomplish a more complex design. As you may have guessed we have not been able to discover the name of this artist, but what we have been able to find out is that, all her creations are made from recycled paper and that the attraction for this form of art, started when she bought a book for her little girl, that explained how to create quilling designs.

Artistry and Innovation with Paper Jewelry Rings
Yes they are made out of paper, British artist Jeremy May, started with having to create something for his 1st anniversary (known for the paper gift) and the ring was born from paper. He then expanded to Bracelets, Necklaces / Pendants and Earrings. We are going to cover rings today. It can take up to 8 weeks to complete a piece, each piece is unique, with a ring costing on average €400 and he makes about 100 pieces a year. When his customers put in an order they specify a book, out of which the piece has to be made. The book serves as the container for the piece, which when laid inside it, is sent to the customer. It took him 2 years to perfect the laminating process which, he is not prepared to divulge. That said, he does show part of the process in the video below.
