Swanage Sea Treasures was born out of my passion for the sea and a desire to create beautiful things from nature.

I am an artist with an eye to the unusual, quirky alternative stuff with a strong beach and sea theme. And it's all about life and loving every aspect of it. All of my artwork has its base in this concept and it is the heart and soul of everything I do. Ever since I was a child I was obsessed with collecting seaglass, stones, shells, fossils and bones and anything interesting that the sea allowed me to gather.

My obsession has not diminished! Every piece of jewellery that appears in my shop has a story to tell, whether it be centuries old shipwreck glass, bones and fossils or more modern remnants of unusual things that have ended up in the sea and found their way to the shore, all tumbled beautifully to give them their unusual quirk!

With the help, encouragement and hard work of my wonderful partner Nick, my son Mike and his gorgeous partner Chris, the dream of an Etsy shop became a reality! My family and friends have been endlessly supportive and very patient in the long trawls of beach-combing, endless advice, help and encouragement and the wonderful gifts of their exciting finds on the beaches of the Jurassic Coast!

All of this love, passion and energy is infused into everything that I produce and I hope that you will love my work too and find something everlastingly beautiful, either to pass on to your loved ones or as a special and unique keepsake for yourself.
