Sea Glass Bracelet and Necklace

11/24/2020

Last week I spent a couple of days creating a necklace and a bracelet for a customer to gift that incorporated sea glass from Whitstable beach. The gifter chose from my selection of sea glass and together we drew up ideas for both items and after very slight tweaking and a day of playing around with different chain, I made my first commissioned piece of sea glass jewellery.
Despite the sore eyes after looking and soldering tiny chain loops, it was really fun to experiment with! I think I might try adapt and play with different ideas for necklaces and bracelets to stock in the future.

Mustard Bucket and Spade

Just what you need when you're down at the beach, however this one is for your dining table!
A miniature spun Sterling Silver and Gold Guilt Bucket with a moveable handle, accompanied by a Sterling Silver and Gold Guilt Spade, intended to be used as a quirky Mustard Bucket and Spoon, perfect for any seaside inspired home.

Opal and Diamond Pendant

We have both been busy in the workshop over the last few weeks with private commissions for customers.

This is a recently made Sterling Silver Pendant set with two round Diamonds, and an oval triplet Opal that the customer possessed previously and wanted to incorporate into a new piece of jewellery.

Our Afternoon Sea Glass Hunting

Spent a lovely afternoon collecting sea glass along our Whitstable shores. I have been trying to keep an eye out for particular shapes and colouring for a commissioned piece but was unlucky today... hopefully I'll have more success within the week. For now, we shall see what I can to do with the pieces I found today.

Spaniels are meant to be good at sniffing out and searching but I am yet to find out why Digby is no good as searching for sea glass with me! Fish, crabs and shell crunching is more his forte. However, he clearly enjoys a beach walk!

Following on from this mornings two minutes silence in commemoration of armistice day and the 100 year anniversary of the burial of the unknown soldier. Dad has set me the task of creating a Vase of Silver Poppies similar to the ones pictured here, which he had made in a previous year.

I hope I do them justice.
