Hey, fellow beachcombers!


Are you ready to embark on a seaglass hunting adventure? Join me as we dive into the exciting world of seaglass collecting and discover the secrets of finding these precious ocean gems. Whether you're looking to create your own seaglass jewellery or simply want to bring a piece of the sea home with you, I've got some handy tips to help you find the best pieces!


Timing is Everything: Plan your seaglass hunting expedition during low tide when more of these gleaming treasures are exposed. Aim for early morning or late afternoon when the sunlight casts a magical glow on the beach.


Seek Out Untouched Shores: Head to less crowded beaches or remote coastal areas where seaglass may be less picked over. You'll increase your chances of stumbling upon hidden seaglass gems waiting to be discovered.


Follow the Pebble Path: Keep an eye out for areas with smooth pebbles, as seaglass tends to accumulate alongside them. Nature has a way of guiding us to these little treasures!


Embrace the Rainbow Hunt: One of the joys of seaglass collecting is the variety of colors you can find. From striking blues and greens to rare reds and purples, keep an open mind and be delighted by the unexpected hues that might cross your path.


Patiently Persistent: Like any treasure hunt, finding seaglass requires patience and perseverance. Take your time, enjoy the calming sounds of the waves, and let the sea gift you its treasures when the time is right.


Remember, each piece of seaglass holds a story from its journey through the waves and tides. The rarity and uniqueness of seaglass colours make them even more special. Let's talk about some of the colours you may find!

  1. Cobalt Blues: Cobalt blue seaglass takes us back to the days of medicine bottles and inkwells. Its deep, mesmerizing hue is a favorite among collectors. Keep your eyes peeled for this enchanting color—it's like discovering a little piece of oceanic magic!

  2. Greens: Green seaglass is a common sight on the beach, but don't be fooled—each shade tells its own story. From emerald greens to seafoam hues, these gems come from vintage soda bottles, jars, and even wine bottles. It's always a joy to stumble upon these vibrant pieces of sea history.

  3. Timeless Whites: White seaglass, often known as "milk glass," holds a classic charm. These opaque treasures come from various sources, such as milk bottles, jars, and even early 20th-century tableware. Their simplicity and timeless beauty make them a cherished find among collectors.

  4. Seafoam: Seafoam green, often considered a variation of blue, captures the essence of the foamy waves as they gently break along the shore. These delicate, pale blue-green seaglass pieces whisper tales of mermaids and hidden treasures. Keep your eyes open for these subtle yet enchanting gems.
