MrG and I collected these pieces of seaglass on our 2022 holiday to Lindos, Rhodes (see blog post here: )
I've made them into earrings and pendants, and will update the listing with individual pairs / sets as and when I make them.

If you would like me to make your seaglass into something similar so you have a permanent and wearable memory of your holiday, please get in touch, or you can simply order from the options I've listed. Allow me a fortnight from the date you send me your seaglass to make your pieces, and do add any special instructions in the request field, or email them to me.
These aren't hallmarked, as they are below the threshold of 7.78g which is the legal requirement for Assay here in the UK.
**I've been using Eco silver since 2016, but now all the silver elements are certified recycled by my bullion dealer - it's made from the waste and offcuts returned and reclaimed in the jewellery process, which means it's environmental impact is significantly lower than if mined afresh.
Thanks for looking!
Genuine seaglass jewellery - recycled sterling silver
Sterling Silver will eventually oxidise or tarnish. It's a natural process that can be slowed down by regular wear and by keeping unworn items away from the atmosphere. If you leave your jewellery out on display, this oxidisation will be faster. You can polish up your items, with a soft cloth, some silver polish, or a buffing cloth such as Town Talk, which is readily available from any high street jewellers in the UK
Fine silver is 99.9% silver, and because of this the tarnish rate is much, much slower. Again, a buff should do the job for polishing it back up. If I have patinated your silver already, be gentle when buffing!
Each piece should stand up to regular wear, but , as with all jewellery, please remove it before washing, using chemicals or applying perfume etc
Apply body lotion and perfume a few minutes before putting on your jewellery to help slow down tarnish
The sterling silver used in these items was sold to me by my bullion dealer as certified recycled.
The gemstones I use have been sold to me by reputable dealers as untreated (unless stated specifically in the listing). They are a natural, organic creation from the earth and each one will be slightly different. You can see examples of this on my Facebook page.
I select the stones that I think go together best for each project, hence my comments that each item is individual.
