rough day

Eco conscious, natural, zero waste, sustainable

Rough day was born from the want to use more natural and sustainable materials to create handmade everyday earrings.

We make our own eco-friendly and plastic-free alternative to polymer clay for our eco clay earrings. It's made using starches (nature's own polymers!), plants and pigments only.

Our pearl earrings are made using real freshwater pearls such as keshi - the most quirky gorgeous accidental by-product of cultured pearls you could ever think of.

Looking for somewhere to store your trinkets? Our concrete dishes are handmade using our own recipe that includes recycled cork off-cuts. There is no wastage - any spare concrete will be used to cast beautiful zero-waste earrings or dried, smashed up and reused as aggregate in the next batch of concrete creations.

All our products are handmade to order just for you and shipped in packaging that is plastic-free, recycled and/or recyclable.
