I have been self-taught by trial and error, 10 years ago. Designing jewelry gave me the creative challenge I was looking for. Most of my creations are inspired by the beauty around me and then quickly transferred through my hands, typically with no rough draft before it’s created. I am happy to have finally found what I love doing every day!” Kaya goes on to say that she has a connection with every creation and they are sometimes hard to part with, positive energy goes into every piece. It brings her great joy inside and out when someone says that a piece of her hand made jewelry has spoken to them in such a way that they wear it all the time, to feel a connection to either the sea or whatever they were feeling at the time.

Anne first discovered seaglass while walking along the beach with her children, initially mistaking it for dangerous debris and tossing it back into the water.

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 Island Girl ✳️
Sea Glass Island Girl began when founder Jennifer Stoll discovered the vibrant sea glass community at a festival years ago. What started as a hobby quickly became a passion rooted in her family’s long tradition of collecting sea glass at their cottage on a small island off Midcoastal Maine.
Now living full-time in Maine, Jennifer and her family continue their daily shoreline hunts, uncovering treasures with deep local history. The island was once home to a grand hotel (1898–1967) whose remnants—bottles, dishes, and glassware—were long ago claimed by the sea. Each tide returns those fragments as beautifully tumbled jewels.
At Sea Glass Island Girl, every piece is authentic, naturally ocean-tumbled, and Maine-found—offered with pride to jewelers, crafters, and collectors who value genuine coastal beauty.
Sea Glass Jewelry and Art by Nora ❤️
Nora’s love for sea glass began several years ago when her sister-in-law shared her love of sea glass. Nora was intrigued and researched about sea glass. By the time she was done with all her research she was captivated with sea glass and could not wait to start combing the beaches and begin her own sea glass collection.
Over the years her sea glass collection got out of control so she decided to turn her sea glass collection into beautiful pieces of art jewelry that anyone could wear and enjoy for many more years to come. She has also expanded her work to include art and mosaics.
Nora handcrafts each piece of jewelry using only authentic sea glass. No two pieces are exactly alike and each is a piece of history and mystery.
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.”

Sea Sundries is a heartfelt, small-batch art business founded by an artist who celebrates the ocean’s magic, the nostalgia of childhood summers, and the stories carried by every piece of sea glass. Growing up on the North Fork of Long Island as the daughter of a commercial fisherman, Brandy spent countless hours by the shore, collecting sea glass and treasures left behind by the waves. Today, she transforms those naturally tumbled fragments into unique, one-of-a-kind handcrafted works of art, capturing the beauty and serenity of the sea. In addition to offering ready-made designs, she welcomes special requests, working with customers to bring their visions to life. Sea Sundries thrives at artisan fairs, craft shows, and festivals, which allows her to connect with fellow ocean lovers.
Sea to the Heart Designs
Carolyn is a lifelong resident of New England, making trips to the coastline with her family where she always loved collecting sea shells and smooth, white beach stones. When friends introduced her to a secret beach where the sea glass was plentiful, collecting sea glass quickly became her passion. After taking several courses and workshops on wire wrapping cabochons, silversmithing, and soldering silver she decided to start her own business, From the Sea to the Heart, using all her handpicked treasures. After a brief break, she has started creating her jewelry again for her new business, Sea to the Heart. Carolyn lives in the quiet corner of Connecticut with her partner Randy and her three dogs.
SeaGals Gallery of Delaware
Who can resist the cool things you find on the beach? Sue Lemmons and Cheryl Eashum sure can’t! Growing up, the sisters spent summers camped along the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay. They loved it all – fishing, clamming, crabbing, canoeing – and of course- beachcombing. For them, it was just the beginning. Six years ago, we started wrapping sea glass to add to their seashell craft line and created SeaGals Gallery of Delaware. They dug out our old glass, taught themselves to wrap and they have been making jewelry ever since. It has become their passion. They offer unique jewelry for women, men and kids, decorative sea glass art, adorable sea glass angels and pirate and special event jewelry. For them, sea glass is a way of life!

Our mission is to provide a relaxing beachside destination for women to experience a rejuvenating weekend connecting with other women, incorporating seaglassing, mindfulness, and art into the journey towards relaxation peace and balance.
Serendipity Heirlooms, LLC
Mary Ellen started collecting sea and beach glass in 8th grade while living on the south shore of Long Island. Over the years her collection grew with pieces from every beach she visited and each gift from family and friends who knew her passion. Never wanting to give up her treasures, she realized in recent years that creating lasting artwork gave others the opportunity to have their own heirlooms. Life changes, and the gift giving became a business. Mary Ellen’s art can be found at various arts and crafts markets on Long Island, upstate New York and coastal Maryland.

Aileen Kent is a sea glass jewelry artist from Long Island, NY. She started her journey as a sea glass artist, first as a collector of sea glass.

Some of her favorite sea glass spots are in Spain, Aruba, Puerto Rico, St. Kitt’s, as well as the beaches near her home in Huntington NY.
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.

Chris Ann and Dennis Buday are lifelong boaters who live along the Allegheny River in Freeport, Pennsylvania.

They debuted their product at the 2014 Great Lakes Beach Glass and Coastal Arts Festival in Erie, Pennsylvania, and have been expanding ever since.

Surfside Sea Glass Jewelry ❤️
Surfside Sea Glass creates unique designs in genuine sea glass jewelry including pendants, bracelets, earrings, rings and more. All pieces of sea glass used are genuine, flawless, jewelry-grade and ocean-tumbled. I handpick my sea glass off of the sand myself – spending countless days throughout each year on beaches around the world from Puerto Rico to California, Bermuda, Panama, England, Ireland and beyond to bring these pieces to you. This is especially important with sea glass pieces as I am able to give you the origin of the sea glass. Therefore, the unique history of each piece can be surmised back to a specific time-period and original form. History is as important as beauty to sea glass. My love of history is a big part of why I love sea-glass collecting. Remember, all of my pendants, bracelets, rings and pairs of earrings have that added touch of quality and handcrafted love.
