About PrettyUgly

PrettyUgly began as a means to represent intersectionality, as many of us are marginalised by the societies we live in. The 'Endangered' rings aim to empower the wearer on their journey, and give them strength and courage to stand tall in the face of adversity. The Hawk represents "fight or flight". The Pig represents the gender and ethnic pay-gap and every person's right to "bring home the bacon". The Goat ring represents victim blaming and being "scapegoated". The Rabbit represents "going down the rabbit hole" into a dark place. I carve each design out of wax, once cast in sterling silver each piece is personally hand finished in my workshop. The craft and care that goes into each piece ensures that each one is unique. Silver is a soft metal and although it is important to take care of such pieces, I encourage you to embrace the marks and scratches, for true beauty lies in imperfections, and they will bear the marks of your life and how you choose to wear it. Stand tall, you are not alone, and when life throws you a curveball, knock it out of the park.Read their story
