Rare Opaque Jadeite Sea Glass Necklace with a Single Freshwater Pearl
Rare Opaque Jadeite Sea Glass Necklace with a Single Freshwater Pearl
Rare opaque Jadeite sea glass necklace with a single freshwater pearl on an 18 inch sterling silver chain. Since this piece doesn’t glow under blacklight it was most likely from a bowl or plate made during or after WWII. Uranium (which glows under blacklight and was originally used in Jadeite) was needed for the wartime effort, so its use in glass production was suspended during and after World War II. This is a very rare find on my beach!
Sea glass is approximately 1 inch in length. This piece of sea glass was found on September 24, 2025.
Each piece of sea glass is unique and hand picked from the beach on my daily walks. This piece has not been machine tumbled or shaped. You will receive the exact piece of jewelry in the photograph. Slight imperfections in the glass are to be expected and are proof that it is pure sea glass. Stone, shell and coral props are not included. The shapes of pure sea glass are formed at random by the breaking of glass and the strength of the sea as each piece is tumbled in the waves and sand. This randomness makes each piece of my jewelry truly unique and one of a kind.
