How many times do we pass by not so perfect sea shells or sea shell shards for that matter, as well as other bits and pieces washed ashore.
But there's much beauty in those pieces, and Gail of Seaphemera Jewelry uses them in her designs.
Gorgeous Seashell Necklaces made from sea shell shards...
... and other found treasures, such as this wonderful smoothly worn coral, all on display here.
Beautiful Searings like this pair that has small shards of seashell cap amazonite beads...
... and genuine Seaglass Jewelry, artistically accentuated with hammered sterling silver.
And if you click here you'll land on Gail's favorite beach in Florida where she collects all the sea shell shards for her jewelry. "There are gazillions of them," she says, "and many have spent hundreds of years sloshing around in the ocean, where they have lost their original shape, but gained texture and patina that makes each one a tiny work of art."

Wow Maya, the first red stone necklace is beautiful and those earings are so cute!!
They are really lovely. I'm going to check out those links Maya. I've always loved broken shells (as well as the perfect ones), this is a great way to use them too. Pruxxx
Ooh how lovely!
I think imperfect things really are perfect too:)
I'd wear these anywhere. They are beautiful
Beautiful... I think the searings are my favorite. I never thought about the bits and pieces-- shame on me! :)
She has such beautiful jewelry! So creative and lucky to be able to find all those wonderful shells and sea glass!!
Hi Maya,
Lovely photos! Gail is one of my Florida etsy team mates. I have always loved and admired her work! Thanks for your comments on my blog about Sanibel. I hope you get there some day, just as I'd love to see the beaches up your way. Love your coastal home and insipartion photos too. I have always had a thing for the sea...something about being born in March maybe?
Another lover of imperfection here. Such pretty work, am off to look at more :-) Happy day, Miss Maya.
Wow... that jewelry is gorgeous!
thanks Maya for such a nice post, and everyone for your comments! I added a few new pieces today, and will be adding every few days - so check back often!
your jewelry has a coastal elegance. so natural with a bit of tre chick. I know any mermaid on land or sea would love a piece of your wearable art. Well done!
