Scottish sea pottery jewellery

Unique sea glass jewellery … the awesome gift. Jewelry is a gift now, and an heirloom later: There’s nothing better than knowing that a gift is yours and all yours when you first receive it. But after you have tired of it or it has served its purpose, it is truly sad to simply discard it or find it a better home. Jewelry, as we already mentioned, can be worn for decades, but even when not in use can be easily stored due to its small size and passed down to the next generation as a useful and meaningful heirloom. Not to mention, depending on the piece it can retain or even increase in value.

Having being in the jewellery business for over a decade now, we believe that jewellery gifting is benefecial to everyone for it never discriminates on race, sex, age or class. And let us be honest it doesn’t get much more personal than a great piece of jewelry. You wear it every day (if it’s really, really great) and you keep it forever (again, if it’s great). So there is pretty much no cons list for this topic, but a very long list of pros which we are very happy to share with you. Jewelry surprises and delights. As we mentioned in the opening paragraph – few things are as memorable as receiving jewelry from a loved one. And even though it has always been a great gift – jewelry will continue to elicit surprised gasps and happy tears for years to come. See more details at Unique scottish sea pottery necklaces.

Sea jewelry terms : Sea Glass – (or Beach Glass) in general is used to describe any found glass on beaches that has been naturally worn smooth by tide and time. Sea Glass pieces must be smoothed to be considered “real’ sea glass. Glass that has any shiny or has glossiness is considered “uncooked”. Sea Glass is found on ocean beaches, beach glass is found on lakes, rivers and other waterways. While sea glass CAN BE called “Beach Glass” (found on a beach), Beach Glass should not be called sea glass if it is found on fresh water areas (unless you call it Inland Sea Glass). The quality of the two can vary BUT this is not a hard and fast rule. Many beach glass pieces found on the Great Lakes and other major waterways cannot be distinguished from sea glass.

Scottish jewelry is influenced by viking jewelry so here is a fact about viking jewelry. When you think of ancient Vikings, the first thing that pops into your mind is probably not jewelry, right? The picture that forms in the mind of most people is one of savages with long sharp spears, swords, and heavy shields attacking coastal communities. However, you will be pleased to know that Norse people of old also made beautiful and intricate ornaments; bracelets, rings, necklaces, etc., out of a variety of materials including bronze, iron, gold, silver, amber, and resin. Early on in the Viking era, which is about 800 AD, these ornaments were simple, but as time went by, the pieces became more detailed and sophisticated.
