Summer is my
favorite time of year- beaches, sun, a slightly more relaxed schedule
and hopefully lots
and lots of time around water. So, when offered a
chance to be part of a sea inspired challenge,
I was delighted! The
cultured seaglass that ZNet Shows offers is truly a pleasure to work
with.
Because I'm craving some beach time, I chose to use gorgeous
beaches from around the world
as my inspiration. If you want to see more of the fabulous sea glass beads that ZNet has to offer, just

First up are some bangles inspired by Malibu Beach in Barbados- the orange and blues make for
a beautiful combination. The products used in these two bangles
are Cultured SeaGlass shell beads
in Saffron Yellow (S72-B57) and
Cultured Sea Glass puffed 20mm coin beads in Opaque
Blue Opal (S15-B460. Here's a picture of Malibu Beach...
Next up were these 32 mm Cultured SeaGlass starfish in Light Aqua Coke Bottle Seafoam ( S27-B88P). I wanted to keep it simple but with a bit of sparkle and shine so added some Chinese crystal and antique brass spacers from a local bead store, and voila! The Abaco set with the antique brass chain and earrings would be perfect for dinner out after spending the day on this gorgeous beach.

Finally, I used
20 mm starfish in Aqua Coke Bottle Seafoam (S27-B882XST) and some
Chinese crystal Aquamarine rondelle dangles (RS101-27) to create a sweet
little necklace and earring set titled the Bora Bora set.
I hope
you've enjoyed this little tour of sea inspired jewelry and the
breathtaking beaches that inspired them!
