Sea glass clusters

I've got summer and beaches on the brain.  Steve and I love to comb the sand (on certain beaches) looking for sea glass. I have containers full of pieces waiting to be made into jewelry, so in anticipation of beach season I made up a grouping of these charm cluster pendants. 

I love the puns that people use in naming a beach house

Each necklace has a piece of sea glass or chalcedony, a sealife charm, and stamped phrase like "beach babe" or "by the sea." 


I used my newest set of letter stamps which are tiny lowercase letters.  They're especially hard to stamp perfectly straight, so I am embracing the whimsical look that results.  These are headed to the shop downtown, but feel free to email me if you'd like something similar.  I can customize the phrase I stamp if you prefer your kids' names or (ahem) the name of *your* beach house.

I love these, Anne! The beach glass and silver are so nice and fresh looking!

And I always admire your stamping. I don't know anyone who does it like you! I know my stamping turns out looking nothing at all like this! I'm just learning and having fun, but yours is so wonderful!
