The Many Colours of Sea Glass

The colors of sea glass are diverse, and the rarity of certain colors can vary depending on factors such as location, the age of the glass, and the type of glass. However, some general trends can be identified:
Most Common Colors of Sea Glass:
- White and Clear: These are often the most prevalent colors because clear glass bottles were historically more common than colored ones.
- Brown and Amber: Brown glass, often from beer bottles or medicine bottles, is also relatively common.
- Green: Green sea glass is frequently found and can come from a variety of sources, including soda bottles, wine bottles, and other beverage containers.
- Blue: Blue sea glass is somewhat less common than green, and it typically originates from items like medicine bottles, milk of magnesia bottles, and decorative glass.
Less Common Colors of Sea Glass:
- Lavender: This color is relatively rare and often comes from vintage glass items like art glass or Depression-era glass.
- Pink: Pink sea glass is less common than other colors, and it is often derived from items like old perfume bottles or art glass.
- Orange and Red: Sea glass in orange and red hues is considered rare. These colors can be sourced from items like vintage tail lights or decorative glass.
- Black and Turquoise: These colors are quite uncommon. Black sea glass may come from old car headlights, while turquoise sea glass often originates from vintage tableware or art glass.
It’s important to note that the rarity of certain colors can vary by region. Some beaches may yield a higher prevalence of certain colors due to the history of glass use in the area. Additionally, the age of the glass can influence its color, as older glass tends to be more susceptible to the effects of weathering and transformation into sea glass.
The sea glass used by Sea Glass Joy was tumbled to the shore of West Beach in Semiahmoo Bay, a part of the Salish Sea, White Rock, British Columbia, Canada.
Be Aware! It is illegal to take Sea Glass from some beaches.
Beachcombing regulations can vary by location, and it’s essential to check with local authorities or park management to understand the rules for a particular beach.
In some cases, beaches may be protected areas, and removing natural elements, including sea glass, could be prohibited to preserve the environment. Additionally, certain beaches may have restrictions to protect wildlife or cultural artifacts. Regulations can change, so it’s crucial to stay informed about the rules of the specific beach you plan to visit.
To obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information, consider contacting local park services, environmental agencies, or visitor information centers in the area where the beach is located. They can provide guidance on beachcombing regulations and any restrictions in place to help preserve the natural beauty of the area.

Sea glass from a walk to Buccerias. I've never found sea glass in Mexico before, but then I've never searched for it before. I guess you find what you are looking for when you are ready to find it. ✨️

I rarely find blue, especially jewelry grade like this little gem.
This rare blue sea glass treasure has made her way to my website seaglassjoy.ca (Link in bio)
The measurement is in centimeters and the coin is a Canadian Loonie for size comparison.

Passion.
I've been experimenting with words.
What do you think?
I think passion is a great word but it has to resonate with it's keeper because it will be worn so close to her heart. ❤

This beautiful piece is a custom order. A local resident found this sea glass on White Rock Beach and asked me to create a necklace for a gift. I am absolutely thrilled how it turned out.
What do you think? Would you be delighted to get this treasure as a gift?

Faith. This is a custom piece. What do you think of the word?
Some people like the embellishments & some don't. Of course you can always flip it over depending on your mood.

When I create custom pieces I embrace the challenge to match the seaglass to whatever the person is imagining for their perfect gift. 💖 It's not easy, so I like to offer a selection.
These pieces are for someone who wears browns & someone who likes blue. Doesn't that narrow it down?😁
What do you think? Do you like the brown sea glass? 🌊

2 Very different sides of this sea glass pendant. One side has a star fish while the other has a pale blue Swarovski crystal. Fun vs serious. Whimsical or classy?
🤔💖🌊
Which do you prefer?

I was so happy with this piece. Except, I twisted the wire just such a tiny bit too much & it snapped! Yikes. It looks so easy until it's not😯
Okay... back to redesigning & starting over again. 😳

A rare heart shaped piece of seaglass becomes a pendant for someone to wear near their heart.
Watch this video if you wish to create your own seaglass jewelry. I created this heart shaped pendant live for anyone who wants to make their own seaglass necklace.
It's not the most exciting video as I walk through each step of creating the pendant with silver plated wire, a bead, & a Swarovski crystal.😊 It shows you the process from start to finish. Luckily it came together well. Otherwise it would be a very long boring video😳😁

Charmed. 💖
I was asked to create a charm to add to a bracelet & this is what emerged. It has a slide clasp that opens & closes to securely attach to your favourite bracelet, key chain or necklace.📿
What do you think?
Btw - I didn't find this piece. It is a custom piece for the friend who found it.

Heart shaped seaglass is rare but if you seek it, it will find you. 💜

This piece is a custom piece. I am pleased to say she is as happy with it as I am. 😊

Different angles of the same piece. My friend found this exceptional jewelery quality piece in White Rock. She prefers simple so I hope she likes it. 😊

What do you think? With a Swarovski crystal? Or without the pale blue crystal. You can always hide the crystal against your heart if you prefer a plain pendant.
This piece of seaglass looks almost white until you place it next to a white piece and then it looks blue.💙🌊

This unique piece called to my love of mermaid lore & of course I had to include a Swarovski crystal. This piece is the most pale sea foam blue, just one shade before it becomes white.
Sometimes I can't wait to get home to work with a special piece like this. Sometimes they sit & wait until I know exactly what to do with them.
So tonight, this piece called out. 🧜♀️ What do you think?
