Tears of the Sea Jewelry Creations Copyright 2007-2008
Sea Glass also referred to as sea glass, seaglass, beach glass, beachglass, ocean glass, and mermaid tears, can be located on beaches and lakes worldwide. These beautiful gifts from the ocean have been naturally tumbled by the constant motion of the water and sand over several years resulting in beautiful polished gems offered in the glistening sand. Sea glass originates from glass that was deposited into our oceans and lakes many years ago and after years of tumbling, finds its way to our shores in spectacular forms. Each piece of seaglass is unique and intriguing with a mysterious past. Many pieces can be traced back to over 100 years. Beachcombing and finding sea glass along the world's beaches and lakes has become a favorite hobby of many beach lovers. Sea Glass (seaglass) is becoming more and more difficult to locate due to the diminishing supplies of these precious jewels.
Sea Glass can best be located at coves, harbors or anywhere where there is a current flowing. We find rocky coastlines the best source of beach glass. There is no golden rule for finding beach glass, but it helps to seek the proper areas. When beachcombing pay attention to the tides, as sea glass can best be located at low tide or when the tides is receeding. Pay careful attention to the high tide line on the beach where you will find small pebbles and shells, as you are sure to discover these gems sparkling in the sun. Beachcombing the shores after a storm has proven to beneficial, but you best get there early, as you will be met by many avid sea glass hunters. Old shipping lanes are worth investigating as they are ideal for sea glass hunting ventures. Make sure you have something to collect your glass in and then just simply rinse them in tap water and air dry when you arrive home. These beach treasures are perfect for jewelry, crafts, jar displays, mosaics, wreaths, windchimes and many other creative projects.
We highly recommend the book " Pure Sea Glass" By Richard LaMotte. This is a informational read for those sea glass lovers.
Seek and you shall find these precious Tears Of The Sea.
