SILVER SCREEN
From The Silver Screen is a first of its kind, jewellery company that repurposes the silver harvested during film processing to create beautiful bespoke pieces and collections.
We champion all things analog and alongside jewellery we have live film screenings and film production sponsorship.
About
Imagine being able to wear your favourite film. Our mission is to give film lovers all around the world the opportunity to do exactly that… wear their favourite film.
After more than 10 years combined, working at Pinewood Studios championing indie film, we came across the mind-blowing fact that silver is a byproduct from celluloid film processing. We were even more shocked to realise that this silver silently goes into products (like the car industry) where nobody knows its special provenance. We decided to change this.
Through a combination of luxury silver retail, film promotion and production, our mission is to play a large role in the championing of analog film and its future.
About
From The Silver Screen was born from a lifelong passion for film. As a teenager, I’d lose myself in movies, always ending with the unshakable feeling that film was my calling. Initially drawn to acting, I soon realised I needed control over my own narrative.
I worked at Pinewood Studios for 8 years for an indie film company which opened my eyes to filmmaking, producing and events managing, laying the foundation for my career. Then, on a Kodak lab tour, a single question changed everything: What happens to the silver extracted from celluloid film? The answer blew me away —it’s refined and sold back into the silver trade, its cinematic origins erased.
That was the lightbulb moment. What if we could preserve that link between film and silver? With Claire, my colleague at the time, we set out to make it happen. Cinelab embraced our vision, and after two years of development, "From The Silver Screen" was born.
Our mission is simple: to let film lovers wear a piece of their favourite films, carrying a tangible link to cinematic history.
More than a business, "From The Silver Screen" is a celebration of cinema’s enduring magic

Craftsmanship
Our jewellery’s life begins as microscopic silver halide crystals within film. These crystals are fundamental to the photographic process because when exposed to light, a reaction darkens the film strip to produce the image. Cinelab extracts the silver from the film using fixer chemicals, and then go on to use a magnetised current to separate the metal from this chemical mixture. Once refined, you are left with silver in its purest form. Too malleable as solid silver, the metal is then alloyed, to create the industry standard sterling silver, which the jewellery is created from.
Hand-finished in Hatton Garden each piece is created with the uttermost care and precision. The jewellery is hallmarked at Goldsmith’s Company Assay Office, guaranteeing the precious metal is of the finest standard. Lastly, From The Silver Screen’s personal hallmark is applied to each piece - the final reminder of this item’s very special provenance.
Sustainability

Carbon Footprint
Reducing our carbon footprint wherever we can, as a London based company, From The Silver Screen proudly source all materials from the UK.
Silver Mining
Did you know silver mining has a large impact, both directly and indirectly, on the environment? A lot of this is due to the deforestation and effects on biodiversity, along with how much water is required when mining and processing silver. The use of upcycled, sustainable silver is more important than ever, and we are thrilled to be a part of this movement. But we’re not stopping with the silver...
Film Can Jewellery Box
Not only is the silver reclaimed from its special origins, but so too is the packaging! The jewellery comes encased in an original 16mm film can, for another cinema keepsake. This repurposed, sheet metal tin would have been holding real film stock from a previously shot production. After sorting through heaps of used cans, we remove the (very cool but classified - sorry!) production stickers, line them with plush jewellery foam and then have them engraved with our logo.
In terms of outer packaging, all orders are sent in a fully recyclable postage box (with paper tape to match).
Cinelab Film & Digital
In 2013, some in the industry were predicting the imminent demise of celluloid film. However, that year a group of creative and technically brilliant film and post-production experts decided to swim against the stream and founded Cinelab. Their passion and knowledge has since led to the modernisation of film laboratory processes and film production services.
A decade later the aesthetic allure of celluloid persists. Its qualities adored by cinematographers of all genres. Through the commitment and craft of the team at Cinelab, they have helped play a huge part in supporting the resurgence of shooting on film.
Cinelab Film & Digital is now the only UK company offering full-service film laboratory and digital dailies services. From pre-production through to deliverables, all under one roof.
