When the Ocean creates its own hearts.

After years of being tumbled by the Ocean waves , seaglass can become heart shaped.

These beautiful examples of seaglass hearts show how powerful our ocean can be . The many years of being tumbled by the waves over rocks , shingle and sand shaping their sharp edges into stunning heart shapes.

The minerals in the sea frosting their surface and sometimes adding character to their once smooth, clear existence that was in its previous life transparent glass.

The Ocean now recycling their appearance from broken glass into jewel like gems shimmering along our shoreline.

Sometimes these seaglass hearts just need a handmade silver setting made specifically for them to show off their unique and naturally formed shape.

How wonderful is it that nature can created beauty from man-made glass and bottles disposed into our oceans.

Browse my collection of unique Seaglass hearts , all hand set into an open bezel setting of recycled fine silver.

A perfect gift for any ocean lover .

This is a selection of seaglass collected over many years by a lady , all from her family holidays abroad and in the UK . Each delicate seaglass gem held treasured memories of sandy beaches and hot sunny days spent with her family.

I set about designing a unique collection of jewellery for her using the seaglass for her upcoming 70th birthday .

Firstly we chose 8 pretty colours to make a perfect line up for the bracelet.

The above selection began the start of her seaglass bracelet .

Each seaglass gem has its own 3mm deep bezel setting designed to hold each different shape securely in fine silver.

All linked together with individual silver rings to a length long enough to wrap around her wrist.

A solid silver lobster clasp fastens the bracelet securely around her slim wrist allowing the last two gems so dangle down.

We then set about choosing 3 stunning , green seaglass treasures to make a bespoke necklace .

These beautiful green seaglass gems below were chosen to be set together using the naturally shaped heart as a centre piece.

Not forgetting of course some statement double drop dangle earrings .

The seaglass shades of green were all perfect to dangle and shimmer in their backless silver setting.

The finished collection of jewellery was a very personal and unique keepsake for wearing with memories of her holidays and sunny days.

Seaglass is telling the story of its deep rooted history centred around glass production .It has its long journey dating back to our bottle factory industries of the last century. Over 100 years ago the famous Candlish bottle factories of the north eastern coast of Seaham used to dispose of their end of day glass into the sea. The factories finished production in 1921 and we can still find seaglass is washing up on these beaches today .

The waste glass now tumbled over rocks, pebbles and sand for many years ,has resulted in their once sharp edges now smoothed . Each individual piece now shaped naturally, and frosted by the minerals in the sea

These delicate sea glass gems can be discovered, on the beach amongst the pebbles and seashells glinting in the sunshine like treasure .

This special setting means it can dangle either way on a chain or as earrings. The light can shine through is stunning colour making it seem quite magical.
