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 an explorative process in our Edinburgh studio.

Designed by Lorn Jean, the final forms are cast in the UK using the ancient lost wax method, then returned to the studio for hand-finishing to a superior polish.

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