No. We call it "cultured" sea glass because it is made by humans. It is simply frosted or tumbled glass made to look like sea glass but you would never find anything like this at the beach. Some of my frosted glass beads are made from recycled glass. That's always a good thing.

The shipping rate, without insurance is approximately $14.50-18.50 to most destinations up to 8oz. Above 8oz the price jumps up $10 but.... that is the same price up to 2lbs! So if you purchase 9 oz it is not a good deal because you could pay the same amount of shipping all the way up to 2lb.
I will let you know if your order is slightly over 8oz so that if you want, you can remove an item or two to bring the shipping price down..... or add to your order to take advantage of the shipping fee up to 2lb. Please also not that the shipping fee that you see is an estimate. It could cost more... or less. I will need to send a link for extra payment if needed or I will refund if it goes over.

The price for the first item is reflective of the price that you will pay for just one item. However if you have a lot of items, there is a small shipping fee added on for each item and that can add up to way more than the actual price. In this case I always refund your money when I process your order.

Most sizing is correct but sometimes there are small differences. It is odd but I get beads that are called for instance 4x6mm by the manufacturer but each manufacturer's sizes are actually slightly different but not so much that I list it as different size. I generally list sizes in whole numbers.

Please call your local USPS carrier and give them your tracking number. The USPS does not consider a domestic package to be lost for 20 days, 40 das for international. If you still have not received your package at that time please contact me. We will make it right. No worries. Thank you.

Etsy does not make this easy but if you have ordered the bead in the past you can find it in your past orders. Click on the item and you will find a link to click on to be notified when it is re-stocked. Alternatively you can look through my sold items which you will find a link to on the left side of the home page. You would need to scroll through possibly many pages. Like I said Etsy does not make it easy but I can not keep up with daily requests. My brain is full with other things. Thanks for understanding.
