Sea glass pendant - work in progress

Latest sea glass pendant.  Pale green frosted glass - possibly part of a bottle base - found on a beach in NE England.  The colour of this piece of glass is lovely and will set off a tan nicely.  The glass is mounted on a solid piece of silver, wrapped over to enclose the glass.  The solid back ensures that light will be reflected back out through the glass, and the enclosing edges or "bezel" hint at stylised waves.  0.5mm thick sheet and 1.5mm silver wire.  The large hoop at the top is a support for further embellishment.  To be completed.

  2. Thanks for your kind comments. Love your blog and jewellery. You're very lucky living so close to the sea and a ready source of inspiration.
