I posted an article on a book that shows you what makes up beach sand, A Grain of Beach Sand, and a lot of it is shells and glass. The larger pieces of glass are collected and use in jewelry as in the story Nootka Sea Glass.
Now another company I have found called A Day at the Beach has an online page and also a Facebook page. They specialize in earrings, bracelets, pendants, and necklaces with also a chance to special order items.
Pictured here is a pair of cobalt blue sea glass earings from their earrings page.
There is also a page on necklaces and bracelets.
For their custom designs check out this page which shows off many different variations.
Next time you are at the beach keep an eye out for sea glass pieces which are rounded off and safe to handle. They come in many brilliant colours only limited by the colours of the glass bottles from which they are made. Glass is so much prettier than plastic on the beach don’t you think?
