ABOUT SEASTONE JEWELLERY
I’m Joanna and I am the artist and metalsmith behind Seastone Jewellery.
A well-chosen piece of jewellery has the potential to completely transform and elevate an outfit. Jewellery makes a statement about your personality, values, beliefs and also has the power to tell a story. As an artisan Jeweler i firmly believe that every piece of jewellery should have a meaning and a story behind it. From bold, statement necklaces to delicate pendants,earrings and bracelets, every item should have heart and meaning. This is why i love working with sea glass.
As a raw product sea glass has lots of history within it, from the discarded 1880s codd marble bottles, 1500s black 'pirate' sea glass, Victorian Opalescent sea glass, to the very famous Seaham coloured glass, the list goes on and on. Sea glass also represents the beaches and coves it is collected from. Many customers buy my jewellery as way of remembering a special beach, holiday or precious moment they had by the Sea, its a wonderful way to treasure these memories and I adore making these memories tangible.
I have been collecting sea glass for over 20 years, becoming slightly obsessed with researching the history and folklore that surrounds sea glass. I collect most of the sea glass used in my creations myself but I am also helped by two trusted sea glass addicts who scour their beaches in Cornwall and in the Outer Hebrides to find me the best sea glass pieces. I have individually selected each piece of sea glass to create designs that are original, handcrafted and inspired by the sea and nature. My designs incorporate texture and movement and I draw inspiration from the natural forms and features of the sea, in all its many moods. Each unique design is a lovingly crafted piece of exclusive art, that is a joy to give or to wear.
​
I work only in fine precious metals to produce quality handmade jewellery. All my materials are ethically sourced and fair-trade. I avoid the use of plastics and animal products in all my materials and packaging, its important to me that my business is Vegan Friendly and Plastic Free.
As per the legal requirements of the London Assay Office, jewellery is hallmarked where applicable.
