Blue sea glass is among the rarest and most sought-after colours found along the shore. Most blue glass originated from old medicine, ink, or perfume bottles, and occasionally from decorative glassware or apothecary jars dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries. Because cobalt and deep blue glass were expensive to produce, far less of it was ever made, meaning only small amounts found their way into the sea. Each piece I use is hand-collected by me from the beaches and coves of Cornwall, and your jewellery will arrive with a little map showing where your sea glass gem was beach-combed.
Sea glass is formed when old, discarded glass is weathered by the waves, sand, and pebbles until it transforms into a smooth, luminous treasure. Once known as “Mermaids’ Tears,” these gems were said to be the tears of mermaids mourning sailors lost at sea. The colour, thickness, and tiny features within the glass, such as bubbles, offer clues to its origin and age.
I have handmade the setting using 100% recycled sterling and fine silver, finished with my makers’ mark of three waves on the back. This pendant measures 15mm in total length, with the sea glass itself measuring 11mm across. It comes with:
A map showing where the sea glass was found
A non-toxic microfibre polishing cloth
A recycled gift box
Unlike artificial or man-made “sea glass,” genuine sea glass can be identified by tiny crescent-shaped markings across the surface—unique patterns created only by the ocean’s touch. I never use imitation glass, only authentic pieces I personally beach-comb.
This listing is for the sea glass pendant only, if you need a chain please add your chosen length/style to your order.
All photos are taken in natural daylight with no filters. Colours may vary slightly depending on your screen, and as with all true sea glass, the gem will appear to shift shades in different lighting, often glowing beautifully in direct light.
