…and why is it so precious?
You’ve probably heard of the beautiful sea glass, and you may have even found some while walking on the beach. But do you know what makes it so precious?
1. First, nature knows its work best.
Over many years, sea waves, rocks and sand have shaped to perfection the pieces of glass from bottles and other glassware thrown in it. The sea smoothed out the sharp edges, took away everything unnecessary and rounded the multi-colored glasses in a unique way.
2. It takes at least between 10 and 50 years for the so-called sea pearls or mermaid tears to be created. It is no coincidence that many people refer to sea glass as gems from the sea and try to find their origin and story, which can date back decades to hundreds of years.
3. Nowadays, it`s getting harder to find sea glass on the beach. The reason behind is the massive use of plastic products at the expense of glass and ceramic ones. You need to have a lot of patience and a keen eye to discover the unique sea treasures. It’s not easy, but the thrill of finding unique sea glass in color and size is truly exciting.
4. Many people prefer products made from recycled materials. Thus, we show our responsible attitude towards nature and support sustainable fashion and design. At the same time, we enjoy unique items that are not mass-produced and bring us a feeling of something special, of something different, which has not only a future, but also a history. Sea glass, for example, is used to create pictures, artworks, jewelry, home decoration, etc.
Sea glass artworks charge with the power of the sea and are considered to bring happiness and good luck
5. Each sea glass is unique. Yes, it is! Every single piece of glass has its own unique shape and size, thanks to the “magic brush” of the sea. Sea glass comes in a variety of colors – white, green and brown pieces are more common, but yellow, turquoise blue, red, orange and even pink or purple are also found. Therefore, they have earned the fame of real treasures and unique handmade jewelry could be created with them.
6. Sea glass is a symbol of new beginnings. Thanks to its interaction with the sea waves, rocks and sand, sea glass begins a new life. It is considered a symbol of renewal, change and new beginnings. Therefore, sea glass products can be a great gift idea for yourself, for friends or a loved one who is entering a new cycle of their life. If you are looking for a different gift with a message for starting an important new beginning in life such as a new job, creating a family, expecting a child, or just for good luck, then sea glass artworks are a great choice. Jewelry made with sea glass is nourished by the power of the sea and is considered to bring happiness and good luck in love, family and life. It could certainly become an unforgettable and unique gift for a birthday, name day, Mother`s Day, Christmas or any other important occasion such as a new love, a new job, a new home, a new beginning.
