Prime Hook Beach Studio
Anne Pas Burke first discovered sea glass while walking her children along the shore of Lake Chautauqua in upstate New York, warning them not to step on the glass. Still thinking it was just dangerous debris, she threw sea glass back into Delaware Bay when she encountered it along the beach outside her summer house. Then a friend showed her a collection of sea glass kept in a large bowl on a shelf, all beautiful treasures gathered just from Prime Hook Beach along the Delaware Bay, and soon she had collected several containers of worn Coke bottles, jars, and other more brightly colored jewels from the sand of Prime Hook Beach. Wanting to turn these found treasures into beautiful pieces of wearable art, she completed a year of training in metalworking from The Creative Metalworks Studio in suburban Washington, D.C. supplemented by courses in enameling, stone setting, and engraving. She has since moved her jewelry making operation to a beautiful studio near Ocean City, Maryland.

The clasp on most pieces also is unique with the use of a limpet shell collected in Abaco.
The Sea Glass Grotto ❤️
Suzanne Hunter grew up spending her summers at her Grandparents’ house in North Wildwood, NJ collecting Sea Glass and other treasures with her Grandmother. She would use these treasures to create jewelry and other art with wire and string.
Loving all things beachy and ocean related, it was a natural progression to permanently relocate to Cape May County, NJ when she was 19 years old. Her love of jewelry making and wire wrapping intrigued her to push her skills further and teach herself the art of silversmithing. Knowing many found treasures hold a special memory or meaning to her clients, Suzanne strives to create unique and enduring pieces that include sea glass, and other natural precious and semiprecious gemstones set in sterling and fine silver. One of her favorite parts about creating jewelry with a fellow sea glass hunter’s own find is hearing the stories or memories attached to the piece, and using that as inspiration to create a truly unique piece for the wearer.
Realizing that no two pieces of sea glass are alike enables her to create one-of-a-kind pieces that can be handed down for generations. She also enjoys the “community spirit” of being a member of ISGA and the Sea Glass community. This has enabled her to meet and befriend many collectors from all around the globe and allowed her to curate a workable collection of exceptionally rare or beautiful pieces from verified collectors.

Sea Glass Jewelry and Art by Nora ❤️

Sea Glass Jewelry by Jane ✳️
Jane Claire McHenry is a Massachusetts native who spent many childhood summer days at her grandparents’ summer home in Wareham, the gateway to Cape Cod, where Jane and her grandmother, Emily, would walk many miles along the beach picking up sea glass along the way and saving it in jars placed on windowsills where the light would reflect its kaleidoscopic hues.
In 2008 Jane left her publishing career of 25 years to follow her artist’s dream. Happily, the result of this lifestyle change is the successful enterprise, Sea Glass Jewelry by Jane. This began a journey to turn what was once a passionate hobby into a thriving artisan business that she shares with her husband. Jane’s artistic process begins with the quest to find the core elements of the sea glass jewelry designs, the sea glass gems themselves. To find the best specimens she and her husband continue to travel to Puerto Rico, Bermuda, California, Hawaii and other destinations, spending countless hours on rocky shores looking for the most perfect pieces.
Each of Jane’s sea glass jewelry designs is inspired by the shape, size and color of the glass. Jane has a special affinity for beautiful, rare sea glass, using these gems in her designs and adding little or no embellishment. Her artistic leaning is to “let the sea glass be the star.”

The perfect storm of sun, surf, sand, and the heady scent of saltwater creates my own personal bliss — especially when you throw a sparkling shard of sea glass into the mix.

Silver Coqui Sea Glass ✳️ ❤️
César’s love for this craft stems back to when he was a child growing up in Puerto Rico. Of the many fond memories he had of the island, one he cherished the most was getting up in the early morning and combing the beach with his mother to find sea glass and pieces of pottery. When he was a bit older, he started making jewelry and other art as a hobby; at the time it was just something to enjoy himself with and started Silver Coqui Sea Glass. Now, many years later, he’s delighted to be able to combine two of his favorite childhood pastimes into a small business. Each piece of sea glass that he uses has been hand-picked by either him or his family on their beautiful beach in Puerto Rico, which gets affectionately crafted into a fine piece of art. He hopes you enjoy these simple gifts of the island as much as he has. César is the current president of ISGA.
