It's Sum-Sum-Summertime! Time for Sea Glass!

While sea glass jewelry is wonderful to wear year round, it's during those warm, lazy summer months when it's especially nice. My website has a full line of authentic wire wrapped sea glass jewelry. All of my jewelry is designed from authentic sea glass found on the Jersey Shore. Such as the brown sea glass wire wrapped pendant shown above. And the green sea glass wire crochet ankle bracelet shown below.




I still have several wire crochet sea glass necklaces, such as the one below. These necklaces can be lengthened or shortened according to your preference - just let me know when ordering.




I also carry sea glass rings and I can custom design a ring for you in your size and almost any color sea glass you wish for.




And of course, there are the earrings! Check out what I have on my website and again, I can always custom design a pair for you in the color sea glass that you want. The second pair of earrings shown below also have capiz shell in their design. I have always loved capiz shell!





Though I did just say that all of my sea glass jewelry is designed with Jersey Shore sea glass, there is this one particular piece that doesn't fit that statement. The sea glass in this bracelet was sent to me by a friend from Maui, Hawaii.



So stop by my website and check out all of my sea glass designs and decide which you really must, must have!

New items available.....ear cuffs!

I'm very excited about a new item that I've added to my website - ear cuffs! I've added two broken china ear cuffs and one sea glass ear cuff.

Ear cuffs give a unique fashion statement. And they're great for those who don't want to pierce their ears. These have a wide curve to them for a comfortable feel. They're made from 20-gauge artist wire and can be adjusted for a perfect fit.

Here's one of the broken china ear cuffs. It's designed from antique Nippon china with gold artist wire. The ear cuff measures 1-3/4" long. This cuff can be worn in either ear.



The second broken china ear cuff is designed from Limoge china and measures 2". This one is made with silver artist wire and has two blue beads. This ear cuff is designed for the right ear but if you'd prefer to wear it on the left ear, just let me know and I can change it. You can see from the photo that the china piece hangs loose from the cuff when worn.




And there's also the sea glass ear cuff. This sea glass is a very light blue and is from Maui, Hawaii. The ear cuff measures 1" and hugs the ear when worn. It can be worn in either ear.




These ear cuffs are being offered for only $12.99 each. The broken china cuffs can be found by clicking this link. And the sea glass cuff is at this link.

Maui Hawaii Sea Glass Bracelet

Living on the Jersey Shore all my life, I have collected many pieces of sea glass over the years. Unfortunately, I didn't hang on to a lot of it, especially after my daughter grew up. Of course, now I seriously regret that since sea glass is not as easily found as it once was, due to the fact that we use much more plastic than glass these days. I wonder if sea plastic will ever have the allure that sea glass does. Hard to imagine! But I do have some sea glass left and I've made some jewelry with it to go along with the "cracked" theme of my website. After all, sea glass is actually broken or cracked bottles that have been naturally formed and smoothed by the sea. And I've always loved the beauty of natural sea glass.

Then a few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of receiving some sea glass from a fellow jewelry designer and friend from Maui, Hawaii. I've always dreamed of visiting Hawaii one day and couldn't have been happier to receive genuine Maui sea glass. To learn more about my friend, Jamee Jones, and her beautiful Hawaiian beach wedding jewelry, see the feature that was posted on this blog on 8/13/08. Here's the first jewelry piece made from Jamee's Maui sea glass, made with gold artist wire. The bracelet is 7" long (it can be made longer if you'd like - just let me know) and is available now on my website at marjoriescracked.com.
