Belfast Beach Jewelry

My jewellery and tiaras are handmade by myself, featuring hand-collected sea glass gems from the UK coast which I meticulously wire-wrap with Czech glass beads, freshwater pearls, and tarnish-free wire.

I use high-quality findings, and carefully wrap my creations in attractive packaging for delivery.

My jewellery designs are inspired by the sea coast and the changing seasons, and are fresh, unique and affordable.

I lived in one of the most beautiful corners of the world, in Belfast, Maine on Penobscot Bay on the Atlantic Ocean, when I first opened my Etsy shop over a decade ago.

On long beach walks with my eager canine companion--then with my young son as well--I rediscovered my childhood passion of collecting sea glass and beach pottery shards.

I love the romance and mystery of these wave-and-sand-worn pieces of the past, and wondering about their origins and the long journey that brought them ashore.

A bit like myself, they have often traveled many miles across the ocean (I now live in the United Kingdom, happily still surrounded by water :)

Humble shards of broken bottles and other glassware, sometimes hundreds of years old, have gradually been fashioned into the smooth, frosted, sea-coloured gems I enjoy hand-picking from the shorelines of Northeast England, the west coast of Scotland, and of course mid coast Maine.

I hope you enjoy the tiaras and other jewelry this "buried" beach treasure has inspired me to create.
