The Scottish history behind sea glass & where it comes from:
From the 1700’s until the mid 1950’s, glass factories lined the coastline of Scotland and manufactured bottles, decorative tableware, perfume bottles, window panes and other items. This was a thriving and crucial industry here in Scotland for hundreds of years. These factories often dumped the waste glass directly into the sea and over decades and even hundreds of years the chemical reaction with the saltwater and abrasion from sand and rocks has created beautifully frosted pieces of sea glass.
The history behind this piece:
Green coloured sea glass is one of the most common pieces of sea glass to find on Scottish beaches and was likely manufactured from early 1600 - mid 1900’s. This being said, finding perfectly frosted sea glass pebbles like this is few and far between.
Dimensions & sizing:
Sea glass size: 18mm (1.8cm) in length
Ring size: S and a half
All sterling silver
