Sea pottery jewelry … the fabulous gift. Jewelry can be given to people of all ages: One of the hardest things about gift shopping is finding something suitable for each age group, and then running from one store to the next. With jewelry, all ages are relevant. From a wee newborn to a senior, jewelry appeals to every generation. When you gift jewelry, you take care of all ages with one gift idea, and possibly just one store.

Rings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, earrings and wristwatches: there is a piece of jewelry for every taste, style and budget. Jewelry is an investment, not just a purchase.But unlike stocks or bonds as you can adorn accessories and still look sane. Jewelry is one of the only gifts that always elicits a “GASP!” response. Also, try a car…but jewelry is more affordable and won’t crash. Jewelry is an extremely customizable gift. You can cater to personality, color preferences, style, almost everything. Need a gift for your stylishly eclectic friend? A bold brass bracelet is the answer! It’s versatile. No matter what your taste or budget, you can find an item to suit your needs. Plus, jewelry is appropriate for every age and gender. Rings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, earrings and watches – there’s something more everyone. See extra info on Scottish sea pottery necklaces.

Sea jewelry terms : Tarnish – A dulled luster or finish caused by a thin deposit of a dirt which discolors the surface of metal and is easily removed. Also a reaction between metals and other chemicals which discolors the surface, particularly silver which reacts with sulfur. The silver sulfide can be removed with a proprietary cleaning product and gentle abrasion. We recommend cleaning our sterling and fine silver jewelry with non paste silver polishes as pastes may become stuck in the pores or the sea glass.

Scottish jewelry is influenced by viking jewelry so here is a fact about viking jewelry. The archeological evidence of Vikings wearing necklaces is more prevalent in comparison to the evidence on neck-rings. Neck-rings that have been discovered across Europe were made of silver, bronze, or gold. Note that most neck-rings that have been discovered were in hoards and not in grave site. Therefore, there is no conclusive evidence regarding which gender wore them. However, most historians believe that neck-rings were worn by both genders as a display of wealth and as a form of currency in commercial transactions. They were designed and crafted in standard units of weight in order to make the assessment of value more accurate. As mentioned above, a piece would be cut from the neck-ring depending on the amount necessary to conclude a commercial transaction.

Lovely pink floral design on this piece of sea pottery which has been tumbled for many years by the waves on the east coast of Scotland. The piece can either be used as a keychain/ring or bag charm. It measures approximately 4cm x 2.5cm. Our recommendation: Dainty piece of pale blue sea pottery set on a black faux suede cord. Source: https://alamercreations.com/.
