Sage is a beautiful soft green that is created by iron impurities in the glass during manufacture. Traditionally used for late 1800s water and ink bottles, as well as mason jars, no two pieces are the exact same colour and this piece is a lovely soft triangle shape. It has the rounded edges and the distinctive frosted surface that only decades—or even centuries—of tumbling in the ocean can create. 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. It comes with a solid silver Belcher chain, please choose your required length when adding to cart. This pendant measures 13mm in total length, with the sea glass itself measuring 8mm 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.
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.
