Handmade Sea Glass Jewellery from North Wales
Unique Sterling Silver Sea Glass Jewellery by Unearthed Gems
Welcome to Unearthed Gems, where every piece of jewellery begins with an adventure along the beautiful coastline of North Wales.
I’m Ceri, a self-taught silversmith, beachcomber, and nature lover with a passion for transforming genuine sea glass into beautiful, wearable treasures. Together with my husband and our dogs, I spend countless hours exploring the beaches of North Wales in search of sea glass, sea pottery, and other treasures left behind by the tides.
Every piece of sea glass I discover has travelled its own unique journey. Tumbled by the waves and softened by the sea over many years, each fragment is shaped by nature into something truly special. I carefully handcraft every piece into sterling silver sea glass jewellery, creating one-of-a-kind designs that celebrate the beauty of the coast and the stories hidden within every find.
Jewellery Shaped by the Sea
There is something magical about sea glass.
What was once an ordinary bottle or piece of glass has been transformed by decades of waves, sand, and sea into a naturally frosted gem. No machine can recreate it. No mould can duplicate it.
This means that every piece of sea glass jewellery I create is completely unique. The colour, shape, texture, and history of every fragment are different, making each necklace, ring, bracelet, or pair of earrings truly one of a kind.
Owning a piece of sea glass jewellery is like carrying a tiny piece of the ocean with you wherever you go.
Handmade Sterling Silver Jewellery
Every piece is lovingly handcrafted using high-quality sterling silver, chosen for its beauty, durability, and timeless appeal.
Sterling silver is:
- Hypoallergenic and ideal for sensitive skin
- Durable and designed for everyday wear
- Naturally water-resistant
- A timeless choice that never goes out of style
You may have seen the phrase “waterproof jewellery” becoming popular online, but the reality is that quality materials such as sterling silver have always been suitable for everyday life. The difference lies in quality craftsmanship and materials that are made to last.
Bespoke and Custom-Made Jewellery
Looking for something truly personal?
I specialise in creating bespoke jewellery commissions, transforming your ideas, treasured sea glass, or meaningful keepsakes into unique pieces that tell your story.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, wedding, engagement, or simply want a piece that’s completely your own, I’d love to work with you to create something special.
No two commission pieces are ever the same.
Inspired by the Beauty of North Wales
Living amongst the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the stunning coastline of North Wales provides endless inspiration for my work.
The local area is rich in natural beauty and history, from dramatic sea cliffs and hidden coves to the famous Penrhyn Slate Quarry. Every beach walk holds the possibility of discovering a new treasure waiting to be transformed into jewellery.
I am particularly drawn to:
- Genuine Sea Glass
- Sea Pottery
- Welsh Slate
- Driftwood
- Shells
- Beach Pebbles
- Natural Coastal Treasures
These beautiful finds often inspire the colours, textures, and designs found throughout my collections.
Whether you’re searching for a meaningful gift, a bespoke commission, or a unique piece of handmade jewellery for yourself, you’ll find jewellery with a story at Unearthed Gems.

What is Sea Glass?
Sea glass is naturally weathered glass that has spent years, and often decades, in the ocean.
The constant movement of waves, sand, and tides gradually transforms discarded glass into smooth, frosted pieces that resemble gemstones. Genuine sea glass has become increasingly rare, making every discovery feel like finding hidden treasure.
Each piece used in my jewellery is hand-collected from the beaches of North Wales and carefully selected for its colour, character, and beauty.
Jewellery with a Story
Jewellery should be more than something you wear.
It should remind you of a special place, a cherished memory, or a moment in time.
Every piece created at Unearthed Gems has already travelled an incredible journey before reaching my workbench. Now it’s waiting to become part of yours.

Thoughts on the Sea…
“Sky of blue, sea of green
amber, claret or aquamarine,
gifted by the restless sea
awaits the crafter’s creativity.
“What’s my story
from furnace to sea shore?
A glass bottle for medicine?
Or a fine liquor?”
As I rolled through the decades
across the sea strand,
now transformed
by the artisan’s hand
Into necklace or earring
or wedding band.
Don’t pass me by
I’ve been waiting for you,
I know you want me
You know you want me too”
