Description
adjustable size 6-8
For the woman who would rather wear a piece of history than simply wear jewelry.
This bracelet carries the colors of the Japanese coast - luminous ocean blue paired with soft, frosted white - each piece of sea glass shaped slowly by water, sand and time.
The blue glass is believed to have originated from vintage Japanese fishing floats, the hand-blown glass orbs once tied along fishing nets to keep them buoyant at sea. Japan began using glass fishing floats around 1910, and many were made from recycled glass. The floats were blown into hollow forms, sealed with molten glass and secured within rope netting before heading out with fishermen into the Pacific.
Those beautiful aqua and blue-green floats have since become icons of Japanese maritime history. Genuine examples are increasingly difficult for beachcombers to find today, making fragments believed to have come from them particularly evocative pieces of the past.
The frosted white sea glass is believed to have begun life as Japanese sake bottles - everyday vessels transformed by years in the sea into beautifully softened pieces of glass.
Set individually in fine silver and linked together so each organically shaped piece can move naturally around the wrist, the alternating blue and white creates an unmistakably coastal palette.

The sea glass
I handpick genuine, ocean-tumbled sea glass from beaches around the world, choosing each piece for its exceptional color, shape, and character.
Every piece has a history. If you’d like to know more about where your glass was found, I’d love to share its story.
Care
I want your handmade sea glass jewelry to stay beautiful for years to come. A little everyday care makes all the difference.
• Keep your jewelry dry. An occasional splash is fine; simply dry it gently. Please remove it before washing your hands, bathing, or swimming.
• Remove your jewelry before applying perfumes or lotions.
• Store it in a cool, dry jewelry box when you’re not wearing it. Regular wear and proper storage can help minimize tarnish.
• If tarnish appears, gently wipe the silver with a jewelry polishing cloth. For gold vermeil, use a soft, nonabrasive cloth to protect the finish.
In my silver work, I use very little traditional sterling silver, favoring fine silver and Argentium silver instead. Both have a higher pure silver content than traditional sterling and offer greater resistance to tarnish. They’re also generally well tolerated by sensitive skin, though individual sensitivities vary.
