Clichéd I know but...I love creativity & take inspiration from every thing I see! I'm a complete magpie & totally taken by anything that sparkles - I particularly love tourmaline & spinel!

I saw, file, polish & solder every piece of jewellery using traditional silversmithing tools & techniques to achieve beautiful results. No casting or mass production so you really are buying something very special. Ring settings can be mounted on a band for skinny stacking and wide band modern settings or set down into the band for a more traditional look.

I hope you get the same immense pleasure from my pieces that I get from creating them! 

Rough Sunflower is run by Chrissy and Bez, two beach bums that love to go beachcombing. 

They create jewellery and home/garden décor from lovely bits and bobs found on beaches all around the UK and Thailand. All driftwood items are made by Bez and the Jewelry is generally made by Chrissy.

As well as beachy items, Rough Sunflower also make a range of feather earrings made from feathers found on long walks around the UK. All materials are ethically sourced and look as nature intended!

Bristol based label producing One-Off , Bespoke and Limited Edition Eco-Fashion and Textile Art in a studio topped with Solar panels.


I am passionate about design, clothing, textiles and our amazing planet. All my creations are made in Bristol based studio powered partly by renewable energy. In my upcycled creations I use only damaged clothing (which I expertly repair or avoid the the damaged area), and reclaimed/recycled materials. Each raw material is scrutinised, planned and utilised to create as little waste as possible. Off-cuts are used in other creations and when eventually my scraps can get no smaller, they are used for stuffing or recycled.

My prices reflect the love, time and effort that has been given to the creation to ensure a minimum wage so that I can continue to practice in an environmentally sustainable way. 

When buying ‘Tatty Gem’s’ you can feel confident that you have chosen to buy ethically and own a piece of truly Sustainable Style.

Unique jewellery for unique people.

One of a kind feminine and wearable jewellery, made from vintage pieces, semi-precious materials and other interesting finds.

All of my jewellery is created using traditional silversmithing techniques and nothing more technically advanced than a small hand held clamp! I make each piece from scratch by hand to create something entirely unique for you. Ethical considerations and impact on the environment are at the heart of my jewellery.   

All gold is from recycled and sustainable sources, the precious and semi-precious gemstones I use are from suppliers that guarantee that they are ethically mined and conflict free and nothing goes to waste in the workshop with all metal leftover from the making process being recycled. Even all of my gift wrapping and packaging is either reused or recycled. Please visit my website 

Inspired by nature and a life long fascination with dragons and shiny things; Laura was called "Scruffy" as a term of endearment as a child and has been (unsuccessfully, at least in part) trying to shake off the self-fulfilling prophecy of that moniker ever since! Hence the name: Scruffy Dragon. 

Self-taught: she creates intricate representations of beautiful creatures using mixed media and basic hand tools. In addition to her jewelry Laura also makes fascinators, bags, purses and cushions.
