Shells

Designer Belle Smith combines discarded pistachio shells with precious metals to create her jewellery pieces. London-based Smith creates a wearable textile with the repurposed waste shells, by attaching them to delicate necklace chains made from recycled silver and steel. She then shapes this textile into hollow spheres and tubes.

The pieces were inspired by the "protective role" of the shells in relation to the nuts inside. Comparing them to a womb protecting ovaries, Smith describes the shells as "nature's vessels of fertility". The designer believes the collection will bring wearers closer to nature. But she also hopes to promote circular economies, by demonstrating how they already exist in nature – in the way plants grow, die and regenerate.
