SeaGlassWear & SeaStoneWear -
Jewelry from the Sea -
“I
love helping nature recycle these ocean gems…what once was
rejected is now revered and we get a second chance to see its
beauty.”
- Valerie Gates
The
availability of naturally created seaglass has been steadily dwindling
for the past decades due to the increase use of recycling and plastics.
This original, handcrafted jewelry is created from an extensive
collection of Cape Cod seaglass or grey beachstones found over the
past 40 years. Each piece, wrapped in Sterling Silver, is hand-selected
and ocean-made, therefore variations will occur and are part of
the natural beauty and originality of each item.
“This jewelry line is my way of honoring
my aunt and her connection to the sea.”
- Valerie Gates
Interest
in the line sparked when Gates wore one of her first creations to
a party. Since then, Seaglasswear has been picked up and featured
by an array of national museums including the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts, The Phoenix Art Museum, and The Art Institute of Chicago,
just to name a few. We are also proud to be one of her chosen Fine
Art Galleries to carry her original one-of-a-kind Sea Glass Jewelry.
Valerie
Gates' jewelry is available in many glass colors such as, cobalt,
white, green, blue-green, olive green, kelly green, brown and combinations
called Multi-Spring and Multi-Fall. Her sea stones naturally differ
in shades of grey. If you would like one of her designs in a particular
color, please inquire
for availability, thank you.
