Kimmi Davies is a trained archaeological object conservator and has worked at the Museum of Archaeology in Stavanger, Norway, and the National Museum in Dublin. After moving from Norway to Wales, she started making jewellery of broken plates in 2013. Her sister runs a tearoom where vintage crockery is used, so she has an endless supply of broken cups and plates. Only plates which are already broken or chipped are used.

All her jewellery is handmade in Abergavenny, Wales. The shards are shaped by hand and fine and sterling silver is added. The silver fittings are custom made for each shard and are hallmarked in Edinburgh.
