What started as a solitary weekend walk along the tide-swept pebble shores of the Puget Sound, discerning the occasional ocean-tumbled glass gem, is turning into a unique lighting collection; hand-crafted from recycled chandeliers, adorned with colorful vintage sea glass, seasoned driftwood and salt-corroded metals that the Pacific decided to spew forth.
This one is suspended by 5 chains bolted to my dining-room ceiling...
Rooted in the opulence of old-world design, the strict use of reclaimed materials and hardware embodies the essence of recycling and sustainability. Inspiration drawn from the crystal-clad Victorian and Georgian chandeliers from centuries gone by, my sea glass lighting collection provides a distinctive centerpiece to any room for friends and family alike to admire. The smooth multi-colored strands of glass, with their old-world charm, project playful shapes in direct sunlight or cast a warm glow when lit in the evening.
Each chandelier is custom made to order, bound to become a family heirloom.

This eight armed (E27 40W bulbs) chandelier features two tiers of interwoven strands of sea glass spanning a continuous spectrum of colors ranging from a deep cola brown, via a variety of greens and whites, to a regal cobalt blue. At two feet tall with an eleven inch radius, the fixture boasts over 8,750 hand-selected pieces of sea glass amassing a staggering seventy pounds, all supported by solid brass hardware and chains, securely anchoring it to the ceiling.
