Sea Inspired Handmade Jewelry: Friday Finds
The beauty of the sea often inspires the artists of Rose of Sharon Jewelry. Today I’d like to share a few original handmade necklaces with ocean themes.
The oceans of the world are filled with interesting creatures. When I found this wonderful artisan-made octopus lampwork bead, I just had to transform it into a wearable piece of art and share its whimsical appeal.
Betty’s Pearl Drift necklace combines freshwater
pearls with seed beads that invoke the colors of the sandy beaches of Oregon. This necklace and earring set is part of our A.F.F. Jewelry Collection at Etsy.
The beautiful South Pacific deserved a dramatic necklace like this one with lots of different sizes, shapes and colors of pearls. I love bold jewelry and this necklace with matching bracelet is not for the timid woman.
On second thought, want to break out of your shell – try wearing this beautiful handmade necklace to a party! You’ll be surrounded by admirers all evening.
My Under the Sea necklace is one of my favorite color combinations – turquoise and coral. The natural tumbled turquoise beads aren’t from the ocean but they certain invoke the Pacific Ocean’s color off Baja. The coral beads are from the ocean (my supplier assures me these are not from endangered reefs) and look like they have been tumbled among the waves for years. The sterling silver fish is from Thailand (made by hand by villagers) as are the adorable sterling silver sea shell beads. This is another bold design that invokes the power and beauty of the oceans around the globe.
Hope you enjoyed seeing a few one-of-a-kind necklaces relating to the sea. You’ll also find plenty of pearls and other sea-themed designs in our main Rose of Sharon Jewelry store and in the A.F.F. Jewelry Collection at Etsy.
