Ocean Dreamer's Jewelry

Makai Earrings

These earrings are a wonderful little stack of Cobalt Blue and Aquamarine Sea Glass! I gathered these wonderful sea gems from the beach in Lahaina, Maui this spring. "Makai" means "towards the sea" and this piece is full of ocean energy! Between the sea glass are sterling silver spacers. The earwires are also sterling silver.

Beach or Sea Glass is natural found glass that has been tumbled by shifting sands and the tumbling ocean waves and tossed back up onto the beach to be discovered by those patient enough to hunt for it. It resembles precious gems with its frosted surface and rounded edges and stunning colors. Important features are both the colors of the glass (as some are more rare) and the amount of total wear and rounding of its surface. Discovered in the shifting tides these well-worn glass pieces can take several decades to develop the soft round edges and at least 50 to 100 years for a thick piece to become the treasure we hunt for. The use of Sea Glass in jewelry has increased as theses lovely gems become more scarce. I’ve found it almost a meditation to sit in one place as the sun warms my back and the scent of the clean ocean air soothes my soul….watching as each wave brings me new treasures to discover.

Silver can be used as a mirror to the soul and help you see yourself from the outside without judgment. It is used often with gemstones because it’s able to both attract and retain those qualities that are emitted by the stone and provides a steadying influence for the jewel. Each pair will be slightly different as is the nature of this amazing Sea Glass.
