Sea glass| Cornish sea glass necklace

Cornish sea glass necklace for which all the glass is hand picked by me from my local beaches. I wash them then carefully drill them.

I do not do anything else to the glass. It is naturally tumbled and frosted for many years in the sea. I use a tiny amount of oil to enhance the colour for photos that’s it.

Each piece is unique therefore,  no piece will be the same or even match in shape.

Pendants can be on sterling silver chain or black cord.

History of sea glass

Sea glass jewellery has been popular for about 25 years, however it’s found on beaches around the world since the mid 1960s. Before that point almost every thing was kept in glass jars and bottles. People just threw it away into the sea. Then we find it all polished tumbled and frosted years later on our beaches. 

How it’s made

True “sea glass” formed in the ocean takes anywhere from 50-100 years to create. Constant tumbling in the salt water create smooth edges. It comes in all sizes shapes and colours. Some rarer than others.

Common colours

 White,brown,and green are fairly common and can be found on most beaches. White glass can be dated back to the late 1800s and early 1900s when clear soda bottles were in mass production. Brown and green often come from beer bottles. 

Rare colours

The rarest are purple, red and opaque, or milk glass. Purple sea glass usually comes from old household items like dishes or cups. Red tends to come from lamps, stained glass, and car lights. Turquoise and blues are even rarer.
