Scottish Sea Glass Jewellery by Gaynor Hebden Smith

Sea glass, also known as mermaid tears or sea jewels, is glass found on the beaches and shores of the sea, some rivers, lochs and lakes.
The glass which has found it’s way into the sea, accidentally or through littering, is naturally broken up and tumbled by the sea and sand, creating the smooth, frosted appearance and textures.

All Gaynor's jewellery and products, use genuine and naturally tumbled sea glass which are have found on the beaches of Scotland, from Edinburgh to the Shetland Isles.
Each piece of Scottish Sea Glass jewellery made is completely unique, as no two pieces of Sea Glass are ever the same.
The Scottish sea glass is naturally tumbled by the sea,  collected off the sea shore, soaked and cleaned.
Much care and attention is then taken in the design process, where she selects the right pieces of Sea Glass taking into consideration colour, shape, size and textures of each piece.
As no two pieces of sea glass found are ever the same, consequently no two pieces of Gaynor's work are ever the same. Therefore, when you purchase a piece of Scottish Sea Glass jewellery, you can be sure you are wearing something unique and individual.
