Excellent Sea Glass Tiffany Jewelry
/skill level/
/viewed/
Glass jewelry is nothing new. Glass has been used for centuries to make Tiffany jewelry pieces. So, it's no surprise that sea glass is a popular jewelry component these days. At least, I am a fan of the crystal-like and colorful glass jewelry. If you are a beachcomber, your may have picked up a few pieces of this yourself.
Coastal Living has an interesting story about a Northern California town that is loaded with sea glass:
"Early in the 20th century, residents of Fort Bragg pitched their household waste-glass, kitchen appliances, and sometimes, whole cars-over these cliffs, then owned by Union Lumber Company and known locally as "The Dumps."Return to Tiffany Oval tag pendant Wilbur Lawson, 83, of the Fort Bragg-Mendocino Coast Historical Society, remembers poking around the junkyard as a kid during the 1930s. "There was always a fire lit in order to reduce the trash pile," he says, which might explain how that chinaware melded into a slab of solid rock. "This was a playground for us," he recalls. Despite rumors, he says a glass-bottle factory never existed on this coastline."
Here are some beautiful Elsa Peretti Apple pendant pieces I am quite happy with from tiffany & Co for your appreciation.
