Sterling silver sea glass necklace
Handcrafted sterling silver sea glass necklace
Another example of original handcrafted silver jewellery from Northumbria Gems is this sea glass bezel pendant.
The pendant was made using a piece of oval, frosted Northumbrian sea glass collected by hand on the lovely north-east coast of England. I forged a thick bezel in sterling silver using traditional silversmith techniques. The bezel was made to fit exactly around the outer of the sea glass to keep its original shape, and a matching bail added. The result is this original Northumbrian seaglass necklace, which is also fully UK hallmarked.
As I use only genuine sea glass in my jewellery every piece of sea glass used will be slightly different, and each new pendant will be unique.
