Thank you for all the love and support this year – we hope to be back with a bang and selling online once more in 2026!

Discover Pretty Rubbish, a unique collection of jewellery and homeware crafted with sustainability and individuality in mind.

Every piece is meticulously hand-made by designer Maria Terry who, using recycled plastics that were once destined for landfill, carefully melts, cuts and shapes trash into treasure.

Maria is a Performance Designer, trained in theatre, costume and event production with over 10 years experience in theatre, film and TV. Pretty Rubbish is the evolution of two passions Maria has discovered along her career – sustainable and imaginative design with a sense of humour. To find out more about Maria’s work click here.

No two pieces are ever the same – each piece showcases its own distinct colours and patterns, based on the story of the plastic and the form from which it originated.
