The Sea Glass Necklace: 6 Different Ways

By Rebecca Ruger Wightman

Just as there is more than one way to skin a cat, 50 ways to leave your lover, and a million ways to die in the West, so too the sea glass necklace belongs to a group of multitudes. While most sea glass jewelry artists likely begin with the standard drilled drop necklace—and this remains a customer favorite—many have learned there are no boundaries when it comes to sea glass designs in necklaces. Here are just a few examples of the possibilities.
