I've had an urge to figure out how to securely wrap a particular shape of sea glass for a while now and use multiple pieces as fringe drops. I think I've got it reasonably well down at this point, so I've started wearing a pair of them as earrings for durability testing- the next step involves wire weaving to make the bit I'd hang things from so it may take a while.


Three rows of inverted narrow triangle-shaped pieces of brown sea glass with brass wire wrapped around the top and loops for each to hang from.

One inverted narrow triangle-shaped piece of brown sea glass with brass wire wrapped around the top and loops to hang from, held in someone's hand, spanning the width of two fingers.

Two earrings made of inverted narrow triangle-shaped pieces of brown sea glass wrapped at the top with brass wire, hanging from a pair of hook wires, with a small light green bead on each.

The earrings use niobium wire hooks for maximum hypoallergenicity. The little green bead is peridot. All the gold-colored wires are solid brass. As for the color of the glass, those shades of brown are the most common ones on my stretch of beach. Boston drinks a lot of beer.

I will be listing things on Etsy once I get that necklace made. Worth noting, I have a good number of similarly shaped green and white glass pieces as well as these brown ones, and I take custom requests.

Those are really lovely. I especially like the one at the top with the gold streaks in it, very eye catching.
