Corien also creates unique porcelain jewelry in limited series, from pendants and charms to cufflinks and rings. You may not yet have seen Corien’s unique tuber collection. To find out more about these continue reading below ↓.

Tubers

Corien has “re-invented” the corsage, giving it a clever update using the tuber. A tuber can be worn on a cord or ribbon around the neck, a piece of jewelry that keeps your lapel flower from drying out. The tubers can also be hung on the wall as a wallflower, or put on its own stand or pedestal. These pedestals are made out of the scraps generated by the process of casting jars and vases.

Rings

Above you see porcelain rings. Corien makes these rings by recycling the waste material generated in the process of casting porcelain jars. During the casting process, the liquid clay runs down the inside of the pouring hole, causing a tube to form, which would otherwise be thrown away. However, these can of course be cut into rings of various sizes. The insides of these rings are left white; the outsides are glazed in white, gold or silver. Thus, this excess “long-neck” material, an essential part of the casting process that is normally discarded, is turned into unique and appealing jewelry. Corien believes in the importance of waste reduction and recycling, so this is a perfect solution.

Cuff Links

Cuff links make any blouse or dress shirt a little more special, especially when they are made of these beautiful porcelain “eyes.”. The eyes appear frequently in Corien’s work, often seen, for example, as brooches.

Pendants

Above you see some porcelain pendants.
Small plastic fish-shaped bottles (see foto at the right) that you commonly find in a box of sushi, filled with soy sauce.
These are the inspiration for the fish-pendants on the foto on the left side.
Corien has made molds of the plastic fishes (2 sizes) in which to cast these pendants.

Jewelry Boxes

One of these shellshaped boxes was once used for the rings at a wedding.
You can also use them as pillboxes.
