This elegant charm bracelet from the 'Smokey Water's collection features a wide teardrop-shaped piece of light silvery grey sea glass, wrapped in a bespoke handcrafted bezel setting and secured to a 19cm long bracelet made of round linked trace chain. It fastens with a toggle clasp and features a little silver star tag. It has been fully hallmarked by the Assay Office, London.

The sea glass in this necklace is a really pretty light silvery grey, with a beautifully tactile frosty surface . The glass itself measures 18mm by 17mm at the widest parts and is mounted in a lovely solid-backed handcrafted silver setting that measures 25mm by 20mm and is 7mm deep. The links in the chain are 9.5mm in diameter and the toggle clasp can be attached to any of these, meaning the bracelet is fully adjustable at any length up to a maximum of 19cm.

There is a little sterling silver rectangular charm on the end of the chain, which contains a tiny star embellishment on one side, and the hallmark on the other.

The whole piece has been oxidised with a darkening patina to highlight the details, before being polished back to a higher shine. The reverse of the backplate has a brushed satin finish.

A really stunning and unique bracelet that is perfect for anyone who loves the sea and likes to wear their sea glass where they can most easily see it! There is a second bracelet in the collection in the same design, featuring a darker piece of glass, which can be viewed in a separate listing.

Due to its weight this bracelet has been fully hallmarked by The London Assay Office as 925 Sterling Silver and also includes my own unique sponsor's/makers mark 'KAT'. This serves as a guarantee of authenticity to prove that the metal is of the quality and finesse described.

All hallmarked items in the 'Smokey Waters' collection also have the limited edition 'Jubilee' stamp, which is an additional mark released to commemorate Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, and is only available for qualifying items hallmarked within the year 2022 - making any piece that has it extra special!

ABOUT THE SEA GLASS

Sea glass is broadly defined as glass which has been discarded into the oceans or on beaches, thereafter spending many decades being gently tumbled by the waves. This gives it the characteristic smooth edges and beautiful frosted appearance which defines it.

Every piece of sea glass I use is authentic, genuine sea glass – the majority of the material in this collection has been found by fellow beachcombers on the coasts of West Scotland where pieces in this particular shade are more abundant and of a more rounded size and shape than the pieces I find locally on my own beach. It is said that grey sea glass may originate from traditional sources such as glassware and bottles, but also from old TV screens and tinted automobile windows!

As the glass I use is genuine, ocean tumbled sea glass, it does contain the very tiny indentions and 'C' marks on the surface which were created as it spent decades in the water - these are the characteristic signs of its authenticity. These marks are not usually obvious to the naked eye but may be visible in the close-up photographs.

Each item of sea glass jewellery I make will by its very nature be unique and 'one of a kind' - the pictures you see here in each listing will be of the exact item that will be received and I always try to give as accurate a description as possible. Please feel free to message me if there is anything else you would like to know about sea glass or any item in this collection!

PACKAGING & SHIPPING

Due to weight and value, this bracelet will be carefully gift wrapped and presented in a ribbon-tied cardboard gift box. All items are sent in mailing boxes, mailing bags or padded envelopes as appropriate.

Shipping within the UK is already included via Royal Mail's ‘Tracked 24’ service (delivery estimate within 2-3 working days), with an optional upgrade to an express 'Special Delivery' service available at checkout for an additional charge (delivery estimate 1-2 working days).

I always aim to despatch all orders on the same or next working day that they are received, so any upgrade in postage chosen by a customer will be for the purposes of achieving higher priority within the Royal Mail system itself, rather than a faster processing time from me as a seller.

Please be aware that I am unable to guarantee specific delivery times of orders once posted but an estimate will be provided on checkout. This is a guide only.

GIFT WRAP & MESSAGING

If you wish to include a short handwritten message on a tag then I am more than happy to provide this service free of charge. Please enter any required text in the optional box to the left of the images.

In addition, if you wish the item to be sent direct to the recipient, then please make sure the mailing address is correct during the checkout process.
