A stunning piece Opalized opaque Sea glass set in our Deluxe Wire Bezel© pendant setting.

This picture does not do the piece justice. In natural light, this piece will really GLOW a pale luminous yellow.

This glass hails from a beach in England  and is the result of a late 19th century glass industry in the Tyne & Wear region. Scrap glass and discards where washed out to the North Sea and now wash up on a local beach.

Opalized Milk glass contains dispersion of particles with refractive index significantly different from the glass matrix, which scatter light. The size distribution and density of the particles control the overall effect, which may range from mild opalization to opaque white. Some glasses are somewhat more blue from the side, and somewhat red-orange in pass-through light.

The opacifiers can be e.g. bone ash, or tin dioxide and arsenic and antimony compounds. They are also added to ceramic glazes, which can be chemically considered to be a specific kind of milk glass.

This is a lovey medium size pendant the bail will accommodate any chain 8 mm or under. This does come with a free sterling plated chain but other options are available (photographed with our 1MM solid sterling snake chain - available as an upgrade).

This glass is UNALTERED from the way it was found on the beach. A solid sterling bail is soldered to a custom made silver bezel. Fully Reversible!

A ONCE IN A LIFETIME PIECE!
