Handcrafted using traditional metalsmithing techniques from sterling silver and using genuine ocean-tumbled sea glass, these beautiful earrings are an elegant and classic style that are perfect for sailors, beach lovers and anyone else who loves the ocean!

The sea glass in these earrings is a lovely teal blue shade, with a beautifully smooth and tactile frosty surface. The glass in each one has been securely wrapped in a bespoke handcrafted bezel setting made from recycled fine and sterling silver, and they hang from 'endless' sterling silver hoops for a clean and contemporary look.

The earrings are handmade using natural sea glass and are therefore not identical, but they have been selected to provide as close a match as possible in terms of colour, size and shape. The backplates of each setting measure approximately 15mm long by 10mm wide, and are 4mm deep.

The hoops measure 20mm across, and the earrings each have a total drop length of approximately 20mm from the top of the hoop to the base of the silver setting.

All the silver has been polished to a high shine.

These are a really stunning and unique pair of earrings, perfect for indulging your inner mermaid!

If you love these earrings but would prefer some form of hook rather than a hoop fitting, then please get in touch before ordering and I will be happy to help!

ABOUT THE SEA GLASS

Sea glass is broadly defined as glass which has been discarded into the oceans or on beaches, thereafter spending many decades being gently tumbled by the waves. This gives it the characteristic smooth edges and beautiful frosted appearance which defines it.

Every piece of sea glass I use is authentic, genuine sea glass – some of which I collect myself from my local beach, and other pieces which I source from fellow beachcombers located in other parts of the world. The glass in these earrings is from beaches on the southern coast of Spain.

As the glass I use is genuine, ocean tumbled sea glass, it does contain the very tiny indentions and 'C' marks on the surface which were created as it spent decades in the water - these are the characteristic signs of its authenticity. These marks are not usually obvious to the naked eye but may be visible in the close-up photographs.

Each item of sea glass jewellery I make will by its very nature be unique and 'one of a kind' - the pictures you see here in each listing will be of the exact item that will be received and I always try to give as accurate a description as possible. Please feel free to message me if there is anything else you would like to know about sea glass or any item in this collection!

PACKAGING & SHIPPING

Due to weight and value, these earrings will be carefully gift wrapped and presented in a ribbon-tied cardboard gift box. All items are sent in mailing boxes, mailing bags or padded envelopes as appropriate.

Shipping within the UK is already included via Royal Mail's ‘Tracked 24’ service (delivery estimate within 2-3 working days), with an optional upgrade to an express 'Special Delivery' service available at checkout for an additional charge (delivery estimate 1-2 working days).

I always aim to despatch all orders on the same or next working day that they are received, so any upgrade in postage chosen by a customer will be for the purposes of achieving higher priority within the Royal Mail system itself, rather than a faster processing time from me as a seller.

Please be aware that I am unable to guarantee specific delivery times of orders once posted but an estimate will be provided on checkout. This is a guide only.

GIFT WRAP & MESSAGING

If you wish to include a short handwritten message on a tag then I am more than happy to provide this service free of charge. Please enter any required text in the optional box to the left of the images.

In addition, if you wish the item to be sent direct to the recipient, then please make sure the mailing address is correct during the checkout process.
