Seaglass Pendant Necklace in Sunlight Lavender with Freshwater Pearl by Aimee K. Banion - Silver 18" Chain included!
This lovely Sunlight Lavender color seaglass pendant is made from a piece I found in the Caribbean in 2008 and was in my private collection until now. The lavender-purple (1:300 on the rarity scale) is really hard to find! It started as clear glass that was exposed to the sun for a few decades at least. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries (roughly 1880 to 1920), glassmakers added manganese dioxide (known as "glassmaker's soap") to molten glass to neutralize green or blue iron impurities and make the glass look crystal clear. The manganese reacts with the UV rays in solarization and changes color!
Seaglass is worn down pieces of manmade glass relics that make their way into the ocean from a seaside landfill or from ships - sand and coral reefs wear down the shards in the surf and currents to make them particularly frosty! This seaglass measures 1.75" tall x 1.5" wide with a sterling silver jump ring. An 18" sterling silver chain is included.
All of my seaglass is organically-worn down by the oceans and Great Lakes - always a beachfind and NEVER purchased or machine tumbled! The included color rarity chart was made with my own research over the two decades I have been collecting these frosty shards of history.
Your jewelry will arrive in a beautiful pale aqua gift box and will be wrapped with the utmost care.
Thank you for supporting an independent American artist and beachcomber!
