Beach Glass Necklaces

They're back!!
Unique, one of a kind necklaces:
The Glistening Pearl's signature beach glass necklace.

I personally handpick each piece of sea glass off the beautiful beaches of Oahu, Hawaii.
The sand and waves naturally shape and smooth the glass to perfection.


*New*
This delicate light green beach glass necklace features a small piece of sea glass and a sterling silver sand dollar.


I only design these necklaces on occasion, and this is the fifth one ever to be put up for sale. 


*Past designs*
The original beach glass necklaces feature larger pieces of sea glass and sterling silver starfish.




This is the first beach glass necklace I designed.
I was extremely lucky to come across such an elegant piece of sea glass.  Adorned with a delicate wire wrap swirl, a sterling silver starfish, and a freshwater pearl, I couldn't give this beauty up for sale.  Its a part of my personal jewelry collection, and I wear it almost every day :)



More original beach glass necklaces will be offered soon!  I have a gorgeous piece of light blue sea glass, as well as vibrant green piece that I'd like to use.  Stay tuned!

My Inspiration

  August 21, 2007
Makapu'u Beach, Oahu, Hawaii

Born and raised in Hawaii, I have come to love and appreciate the ocean - from tackling the waves bodysurfing to designing ocean-inspired jewelry.  Each piece of jewelry tries to capture the essence of the ocean: glistening blue-green waters, glowing pearls, smooth pieces of seaglass that wash up on shore... Wherever life happens to take me, Hawaii will always be my home, and I'll always have a piece of it with me tucked away in my designs.  I'm so pleased to finally be able to share a bit of paradise with all of you.
