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.
