Caroline Brogden is a contemporary jeweller known for her innovative use of Surfite—a material created from layers of excess resin left over from surfboard production. Inspired by the coast, she transforms this waste material into vibrant, colourful jewellery. Her work challenges traditional notions of preciousness by elevating discarded materials into wearable art. Combining hand-carving techniques with silver settings, her designs celebrate sustainability, craftsmanship, and individuality.
Sustainability remains the key theme throughout her latest jewellery collection combined with her passion for the local coastline of Anglesey.
She has spent a number of years developing partnerships with British surfboard shapers to create a circular economy by purchasing their waste and working on ways to reduce the environmental impact of the raw material.
Through her work she hopes to inspire a shift in how we view waste and underscore the need for mindful consumption.
