Sea Glass Bracelets for the Bridesmaids

Italian Sea Glass Bracelet Sets

Mermaid Green Sea Glass Bracelets
One of my most requested items are these real sea glass bracelets in sets to match the wedding party. It is always satisfying to see these finished and laid out in a row. This set was originally ordered in aqua blue, but the bridesmaids had a change of heart and switched to teal. I love the rich, deep color. 

The metal is sterling, which I don't always use but at the brides request everything got an upgrade!

Wire wrapped in solid sterling silver

Set of 7 for the Bridesmaids

The beach glass came from a collector in Italy

Whenever I come across a piece of sea glass with this rectangular shape I set it aside for bracelets. Feel free to contact me if you would like to get started on a similar set for your bridesmaids! 

I usually list a few here, but custom sets are always welcome:

From the Bride:
"Ali was a dream to work with. She accommodated my needs without a problem and worked with me to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. The product exceeded my expectations. My experience with her also exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this shop, and will be back in the future. Thank you, Ali, for the beautiful work."  -E.

Great Bridesmaid Gifts! Sea Glass Necklaces for a Blue Beach Wedding

Shown in Turquoise, many colors available!


Hands down the most popular color for beach weddings, in my experience is blue! I create and sell more blue jewelry than any other color. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to find genuine sea glass in shades of blue. Most brides that I work with appreciate the offer to use man-made sea glass, often called cultured sea glass.

Frosty blue with Swarovski pearl


It's fun to work with and I love the assortment of colors that it comes in as well as a variety of shapes. The genuine looking pieces are hand-finished for an authentic matte look.

Shown: Teal, Turquoise, Cornflower & Cobalt


The lovely thing about using man-made beach glass is that it keeps the prices low for my brides. I know many brides, especially those traveling for a destination wedding, are on a budget. Many of the necklaces shown on this page can be purchased for under $25.

Choose your letters! Cornflower Blue


Since wedding jewelry is one the last wedding accessories purchased the use of cultured sea glass can it faster to create a set when the wedding date is just around the corner. Last minute orders are generally not a problem.

This is on an extra long (22"-28" chain)


If you like, I can custom match your dresses to the bridesmaid jewelry. I am always happy to offer that service. Just send me a photo or a link to your bridesmaids dresses and I will respond a free price quote and some sample ideas! Email: bostonseaglass@gmail.com

Custom Wedding Jewelry

The wedding season has been a lot of fun for me this year. I have worked with many creative brides who have a vision of what they want their bridesmaid jewelry to look like. I thought it would be fun to share some of this season's creations.

This set was designed to match a David's Bridal color called Pool. That is real, aqua blue sea glass combined with Swarovski pearls and light blue crystals.


The pearls were done in ivory to match the Bride's gown.



This was part of a set of three. One Bridesmaid was wearing Lavender, one was in Aqua.
 The Bride requested Purple accents on her necklace, earrings and matching bracelet.
This was a special request by a woman to be worn at her brother's wedding. The dress had a plunging neckline and she wanted something long to wear. The dress was champagne and pink.




 This is a set of four necklaces made from clusters of sea glass mixed with clusters of pearls. I have to admit that it was a challenge to make these. Each piece of sea glass moves independently of the rest of the necklace, so some had a tendency to flip around. It took a lot of help from my mother who is also a designer to get it right. In the end I was happy with the look, and I hope the Bride and Bridesmaids were happy too. Just please don't ask me to make another one.


 


This was a design by a bride planning a 
Lime Green and Navy Blue beach wedding. Just a week later I received an email from a bride who liked the look, but she was planning a Hot Pink and Navy Blue Wedding. So together we designed these:




Here is another Navy Pearl, this time combined with wire wrapped Sea Glass in Lavender. The other colors were gifts for the grandparents of the bride and groom. The Purple Bead in the center was for the Maid of Honor.
These were also by special request, Purple Crystals in three colors with Pewter Starfish.
Earrings to match



 I liked this set for the simplicity of using all white glass. The Bride said she was getting married on a hill overlooking Lake Michigan. It sounded so poetic!

----

I have really been inspired by the creative and unique color combinations that brides have been requesting the year, and some of my favorite items in the shop started as a special request from a bride with a creative vision of her wedding day. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of that process.


This is a set that I just finished that is looking for a good home. If you are planning a wedding (with or without a beach theme) I would love to work with you to design the perfect piece for you or your Wedding Party.

Sea Glass Wedding Jewelry

https://www.etsy.com/listing/97286267/wedding-jewelry-one-sea-glass-jewelry?ref=shop_home_activeI have been busy creating a lot of Bridesmaid and Bridal jewelry for destination weddings lately. It is such an honor to create something so personal and special for a bride, her family and friends! I thought I would share some of my most recent projects. The set above is a cluster style and by far the most popular! The two deeper teal were for the two Maids of Honor. The set below is similar but in aqua sea foam green



These are two different sets of lime green sea glass bracelets, each for wedding parties with 6 bridesmaids.

Below was a set made for bridesmaids in brown dresses. Brown is a popular color for summer weddings this year. I love the way they glow amber in the sun light:
The last set in cobalt blue was created for a bride who ended up going with a different design in white. I sold the earrings separately and the necklace will go into my shop:
