About North 'n' Grit Jewellery
Crafting Eco and Ethically Conscious Elegance
Where possible, North 'n' Grit Jewellery uses eco-conscious materials and processes. North 'n' Grit Jewellery prides itself on researching and sourcing materials from UK based suppliers and/or manufacturers. We go to great lengths to find and use UK suppliers that display a commitment to eco - conscious and ethical trading and manufacturing practices.
We are always striving to make our jewellery production more sustainable and will continue to do so.
North 'n' Grit Jewellery recycles waste pieces of resin, by incorporating it into new items.
We use reusable silicone mixing pots and tools to reduce the need for single use plastics.
North 'n' Grit Jewellery uses biodegradable, recycled and recyclable gift boxes and packages from a UK supplier.
Many of the Sterling Silver 925 chains and a number of the jewellery findings that we use are recycled silver. This reduces the manufacturing process and impact of mining for precious metals on the environment.
A number of our jewellery pieces use cord that has been made from recycled plastic bottles. We are keen to discover and experiment with ways in which we can increase the use of recycled components in a greater range of our pieces.
North 'n' Grit Jewellery uses ribbon, cord and faux suede, rather than using animal based products, such as leather.
North 'n' Grit Jewellery uses companies that supply or manufacture jewellery findings and components from within the UK.
Northern Roots
Artisan Jewellery Handmade with Love
North 'n' Grit Jewellery is a tale of creativity and sustainability. Our handmade pieces are a fusion of nature's grit and artisanal flair.
Following two successful decades in teaching, I decided it was time to embark on a new adventure. I wasn't quite sure at first what that adventure would be!
Whilst trying to figure out what my next career steps might be, my daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia. On reading her report, I realised that it could have been written about me. The similarities were remarkable and so I began my own research into dyslexia.
Making this discovery was enlightening for us both, in a very positive way. It was like all of the missing pieces of a jigsaw came together to complete a bigger picture. We now have a much better understanding of our creativity and problem solving strengths, along with a greater awareness of how differently we might think about, remember or process information.
With this new knowledge, I realised perhaps I ought to consider a more creative pathway for myself. I started to think about the fun hobbies I used to do as a child, with jewellery making being a significant one.
So, it is from there that I continued my love for jewellery making and started to experiment with different jewellery components. Friends and family were very complimentary about my jewellery and often suggested that I should sell it. So, that is exactly what I decided to do!
