What is Seaglass and Seaglass Jewellery?

Seaglass jewellery is more than just beautiful, it’s a piece of the ocean’s story, captured and worn close to the heart.

At Waves End Designs, we handcraft jewellery in Cornwall, using genuine seaglass found along the British South-West Coastline and inspired by iconic British beaches like Fistral, Bantham, and Charmouth. But what exactly is seaglass, and why has it become such a treasured material in jewellery?

 

What Is Seaglass?

Seaglass is naturally weathered glass, once discarded and now transformed by the sea. Over decades, sometimes even centuries, broken glass is tumbled by waves, sand, and saltwater into smooth, frosted gems. Every piece of seaglass is unique in shape and texture, making it a perfect match for artisan jewellery.

 

Why Choose Seaglass Jewellery?

There’s a reason seaglass jewellery is growing in popularity across the UK and beyond. Here’s why:

• Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled and repurposed glass shaped by nature.
• Unique: No two pieces are the same; each necklace, ring, or earring set is one-of-a-kind.
• Symbolic: Seaglass often represents transformation, healing, and renewal.
• Local: Our pieces are designed and made in Cornwall, inspired by its rugged coastline and rich maritime history.

Whether it’s a gift for a loved one or a keepsake from your own coastal adventures, seaglass jewellery carries the magic of Mother Nature.
