Handmade Silver and White Sea Glass Drop Earrings
£35.00
A pair of handmade dainty white sea glass and silver drop earrings featuring two little balls of UK sea glass wrapped in fine silver wire set on sterling silver hooks. These little gorgeously rounded and worn old bubbly snowballs of sea glass were found by me on the beach at Seaham in County Durham, and have been gently wrapped in fine silver wire to create an organic feel. The snowballs hang from sterling silver wire earring hooks. The silver wire complements the white glass to create a bit of twinkle when worn, and as each piece is a slightly different shape, the form of the wire as it wraps around each piece also varies. This slight irregularity is one of the charms of this design, and a feature of handmade items using natural materials! If you crave uniformity – these are not for you!
Details/Measurements: Earring drop from top of hook to bottom of sea glass (approx) 3cm; Sea glass nuggets (approx) 1cm x 1cm; Wire is 999 Fine Silver; Hooks and rings are solid sterling silver.
Almost like ‘snowballs’ these could be a perfect gift for Christmas or for Christmas party outfits.
The earrings will arrive wrapped in pale green tissue paper fastened with linen thread, and in a kraft pillow-box. A little handwritten note explaining a bit about the piece is also included. Additional gift wrap options are available, see below.
POSTAGE INCLUDED: The package will be shipped in 1-3 days and sent by Royal Mail Tracked 24.

This pair of drop earrings feature gorgeous ’round-ish’ sea glass nuggets that have been wrapped in fine silver wire ready to be hung from sterling silver wire earring hooks. These gorgeously rounded and worn old bubbly sea glass pieces were collected by me on one of my trips to Seaham to see my family and they are as close to ‘matching’ as it’s possible to be with sea glass from the ‘wild’! The silver wire complements the white glass to create a bit of twinkle when worn.
Details/Measurements:
- Earring drop from top of hook to bottom of sea glass (approx.) 3cm
- Sea glass nuggets (approx) 1cm x 1cm
- Wire is 999 Fine Silver
- Hooks and rings are solid sterling silver
The sea-glass and other beach finds (including pottery, shells and fossils) are all found by me on beaches I visit, most commonly Barton-on-Sea and the Jurassic Coast, near me, Cornwall where I holiday often, and the North East of England where my sister and family live. But I have been known to find things in France, Greece and elsewhere too! I use sea-glass in a variety of ways in my creations, and I am always guided by the feel of a piece. Some silver pieces are crying out for a sea-glass companion, and others are best left to shine alone, and likewise, some pieces of sea-glass are made to stand-our on their own!
The shape and colour of each piece of sea-glass determines how I use it: I wire-wrap some using fine silver wire, some are simply drilled and hung from a chain just as they are, others are mounted into a silver bezel setting, and some of the smallest pieces are combined together to create a ‘cluster’. I love letting my intuition guide my creating,
All my items will arrive wrapped in pale green recycled tissue paper fastened with linen thread, and in a recycled kraft pillow-box. A little handwritten note explaining a bit about the piece is also included. Additional gift wrap options are available.
The pillow box is sent in a recycled cardboard box filled with eco-friendly, responsibly sourced UK wood wool.
The package will be shipped in 1-3 days and sent by Royal Mail Tracked 24 which is included. Other delivery methods are available on request.
COMMISSIONS: You may also like to know that I love taking special requests and commissions – perhaps to celebrate a special birthday or event, or maybe just to turn a favourite ‘something’ you have collected into a piece of jewellery you can wear. So if you’d like to talk about creating something truly unique and bespoke for you or someone in your life please do get in touch, I’d love to help. Previous commissions have included turning a customer’s own sea-glass into a necklace, handcrafting a Bramble flower for a 21st birthday, recreating a dangly Catkin for a favourite sister or some coffee bean earrings for a Barista. It’s also worth knowing that commissions don’t necessarily cost more than items in the shop – it depends what you have in mind – so it’s always worth a no-strings chat.

Returns and Refunds
All of my pieces are handmade with a lot of love and I take great pride in everything I make, and in seeing a smile on your face! I am a strong believer in hand-made meaning quality and also that because each piece is individually made by hand there sometimes may be irregularities on the surface reflecting the organic nature of the materials I work with , which creates truly one of a kind pieces.
