About Sea Glass

Sea glass is a shard of glass that has been discarded and has found its way into the ocean waters through rivers, tides or carelessness. The tides and waves tumble the shard with the natural sand and salt of the sea.  Years of this natural action of the sea and sand create a frosted, smoothed gem of incredible beauty. 

Sea glass comes in as many colors as glass itself.   It might be a shard of an old cobalt blue medicine bottle, a soft green soda or bright green liquor bottle, a pink Depression glass candy dish or even a white milk glass cake plate. Each shape is naturally created by chance. Pieces of sea glass are washed upon the beach everyday with the incoming tide and taken back out with the ebbing tide.  An illusive treasure, I find my sea glass between the tides on the beaches of Cape May, NJ.
