The Quirky Process

The Bottle Kiln in Silver sparkle dangle earrings is made from laser cut acrylic.

Each item of jewellery at Wear It Quirky are made, packaged and shipped from Stoke-on-Trent; the heart of the Potteries! More specifically, the entire process takes place in my little shared studio space.

The jewellery is therefore designed and made entirely by hand by me, Victoria, making every single pair unique and truly special. I share lots of behind the scenes of the quirky process on Instagram and Facebook.

Please note because the jewellery is handmade, there may be slight differences from one to the other and sometimes, some slight imperfections.

About the Kilns

There was once approximately 2000 bottle kilns in Stoke-on-Trent. Now only 47 remain.

All of my ancestors worked within the pottery industry. My Great-Aunt Nellie worked until she retired at the wonderful Wedgwood. When she retired as a Paintress, Wedgwood allowed her to decorate a plate which she was then gifted and my Mum still has the plate today.

My Grand-Father was a Cod Placer, as they paid for each piece they made successfully, my Grand-father had to make sure each one was placed correctly to ensure it fired correctly.

My Grand-father passed away when I was very young. I would have loved to have spoken to him about his time as a Cod Placer.

The kiln featured in the photos for these earrings is from the wonderful Middleport Pottery. 

Shipping Info

When you order a pair of Wear It Quirky earrings, they come attached to a printed jewellery card that you can hold onto for storing your earrings safely and securely.

If you purchase just the charms, they will come in a small plastic bag.

These earrings would be an ideal treat for you, but can be sent as a gift too. If you’re purchasing the item as a gift, let me know at the checkout and if you wish, I can write a message directly for your recipient.

Pieces which are back ordered may take up to ten working days to make and dispatch. Any item in stock will be sent within five working days. If you wish to have a closer approximation for the dispatch times, please do get in touch.

I try to make sure that the packaging used is either recyclable or re-usable. So when you do receive your package, if you could recycle as much as you can; that would be great.
