All of my jewelry is handmade by me from genuine sea glass and beach stones tumbled by the sea.
Did you know that It takes decades for broken glass to become sea glass? Old glass bottles, jars and even old car windows and tail lights that were dumped into the ocean decades ago as trash, are worn down by the sand and waves making a smooth, beautiful gem we call sea glass. Later to be washed up onto the shore to be found by a lucky beachcomber! Every piece is unique!
Brown sea glass may come mainly from beer, root beer and whiskey bottles. The older the glass the less common it is. Old Clorox and Lysol products came in large brown bottles. Today, many wine and American beer companies still use brown bottles to help protect the liquor inside the bottles from the sun. Something in the region of one in two pieces of sea glass will be brown.
Most clear sea glass comes from items such as soda bottles, glass food containers, liquor bottles, wine bottles, Mason and Ball canning jars as well as old milk bottles and medicine bottles. Clear sea glass looks frosty and white when dry and is often referred to as white sea glass. Roughly two out of three pieces of sea glass you find will be clear or white.
