Open Heart Ear Cuff

X-Ray Silver

This piece is crafted using X-ray silver—reclaimed from medical X-ray film through Betts Metals’ AgAIN initiative. Refined in the UK, the material carries a traceable history, offering a considered approach to precious metals.

Betts collaborates with healthcare institutions, including the NHS, to recover surplus X-ray film, refining it into high-purity sterling silver. With the capacity to process up to five tonnes of film weekly, the initiative reduces waste while reimagining material through purpose and care.

Designed & Crafted in the UK

Each piece begins in sculptural study: modelled, refined, and shaped through a process of precision and intent.

Cast in the UK using the ancient lost wax casting process, then hand-finished to a superior polish, the result is a composition of balance and material clarity.

Jewellery shaped through process, defined by form, finished by hand.
