Hi all! I live in the Charleston area in SC, and also am a relic hunter. Overtime, I wound up with enough broken china shards around that my wife insisted I start doing something with them or risk her throwing them out. I decided to start making jewelry and decor out of it and am having some success with it. The problem is, I am always needing more material to work with. I know many diggers who don't even bother picking China pieces up, which is a shame! I was wondering if anyone in the area has a stockpile of china or some that you don't have any plans for and wouldn't mind parting with. I have traded in the past. I could make some things out of it for you as a trade, or I do have some bottles I could think about using for trade. I will post some pictures of what I do with it, Thanks!

Have you considered checking thrift stores for vintage china pieces? Any kind of plate ware is usually inexpensive

I was gonna suggest flea markets if you have them there. Cheap and plentiful. By the way, your jewelry is unique and beautiful...

I have thought about this, but I try to specialize with things I have dug up. I call it "Artifact Jewelry" and it helps separate me from anyone else who makes china jewelry
