Collection: Genuine Sea Glass from NYC Beaches

Real sea glass isn't made, it's found. Genuine sea glass forms only one way: broken glass tumbled by decades, sometimes a century, of surf and sand until its edges soften and its surface frosts. Machine-tumbled glass can imitate the look, but it can't fake the time. The authentic sea glass in this collection was hand-collected from New York City's historic shoreline beaches, where generations of discarded bottles have been reshaped by the Atlantic since the early 1900s. Each piece carries natural variation in color, shape, and frosting that only genuine sea glass has, prized by jewelry makers, mosaic artists, and collectors who want the real thing.
