De La Mer………as the French say, from the sea

This collection contains all things in, of and around the water. Many of you are aware of my fascination with turtles, but the water holds and attracts so many beautiful creatures ~~~~~ creatures that can be interpreted into wonderful wearable pieces of jewelry. You're invited to wade through………

A bright coral splashed lampwork seashell and a curled coral bone fish are the stars of this piece, but the three Thai sterling seashells create a marine background for them. Additionally there is an pretty coral, ochre and white boro bead, a lampwork sand dollar and sand wedge along with a spiny oyster slice and a twisted sterling toggle.

This beautifully detailed boro glass seahorse is about 2” tall and the blues and purples are stunning. Tiny iolite beads suspend it from a pair of Murano lavender coils and unique blue vintage glass square beads complete the circle. It is choker length, but the extender chain allows for another 3”.

Beautifully color coordinated lime and aqua lampwork glass beads in sea & shell shapes offer the perfect contrast to the Thai Sterling shell beads. One teal glass-set sterling bead hints of the deep shades of the ocean. The bracelet is finished with a twist & hammered sterling toggle.
A coordinating pair of shell shaped lampwork glass earrings are also available.

An amazing little borosilicate lampwork glass turtle in an unexpected color----- black, but with glistening silver (and a touch of midnight blue) coming up through it’s shell, the sophistication is undeniable. The strand is composed of faceted wedge cut black onyx and silver-black art glass beads with the turtle facing up from the center. A sterling silver clasp and extender allow this choker to be made long enough to go over a turtle neck.

Dark marine blue and ocean green speckles are found in the body of this borosilicate glass turtle, but the little bug eyes and the bumpy shell take it from gorgeous to adorable. The strand has two coordinating boro glass beads and the balance is faceted art glass with a sterling clasp and extender.
