Natural sea glass pendant necklace, Cornish sea glass and blue calming gemstone necklace with a waxed cotton cord

Natural sea glass pendant handmade using Cornish sea glass with two blue spot Jasper beads

This perfectly beautiful piece of naturally beach tumbled sea glass was found on a beach in Cornwall, just before the tide came in and we went for crab sandwiches in a lovely little café on the sea front.

The sea glass measures approximately 25 mm tall and 20 mm wide at its widest point

I took it home drilled it and simply stung it on a black cotton cord which is 1.5mm thick with two blue spot Jasper beads

The cord of this necklace is adjustable using sliding knots and can be worn long or short, at its longest the cord measures 26 inches or and at its shortest it measures 13 inches

There is no clasp on this necklace, slide the knots to ‘open’ the cord and put over your head and slide the knots of the necklace to the required length.


Sea glass is arguably one of the most recycled products that there is. Because it starts it life as sand, which is melted at high temperatures to make into glass that is used to make windows, bottles, jars, and other items. When it has been discarded, possibly end up in the sea, it could stay there for a hundred years or more. The sea breaks it up and creates glass pebbles which if not found by a beachcomber and made into something special, it will stay in sea until it is worn away back into sand.

The beaches in Cornwall England are rocky, windswept and romantic just the place to find mermaids tears.

Don't forget the legend of mermaids tears

The most well known legend states that Neptune, the watchful god of the sea, forbode the sea maidens to use their abilities to change the course of nature. One night, during a horrible storm, one of the mermaids weathered the crossings for a ship. She had, over time, grown to fall in love with the ship’s captain from afar. When she calmed the wind and waves to save the man’s life, Neptune angrily exiled her to the depths of the ocean. She was condemned for eternity and ordered never to swim to the surface again. Still, today, her brightly gleaming tears wash up on the shore as seaglass as a reminder of her true love.
