Jewelry and other Sea Glass creations by Maureen. Each piece of Sea Glass is: Hand-picked. Either myself or one of my scouts (family and friends) select each piece. I do not purchase any. Authentic. Only picked from the shore line. Unaltered. I only create a drill hole, I do not buff or shape. Unique. You will not find another piece like it (although much care, time, and effort are made for earring matches). Tumbled by the sea. A great example of reduce, reuse, and recycle!
