New Sea Glass Collection - West Winds

WEST WINDS SEA GLASS COLLECTION

COMING SOON



Mermaid’s Purse is adding a new collection called:

WEST WINDS

This line of Sea Glass Jewelry is meant to be more budget friendly so all Mermaids and Mermen can enjoy accessorizing with these incredible sea beauties.

I’ve heard over the past year how much someone loves my pieces but that it was a bit out of reach due to the fact that the existing collections are all set in sterling silver and many rare colors are used.

Sooo…I’m in process of designing pieces using leather and less sterling silver. I’ve been learning how to do Celtic braids and knots with leather. Looks very cool! The color of Sea Glass used will be the common and uncommon colors. None the less beautiful, just easier to find.

WEST WINDS….The name came about while watching the Olympics one evening with great friends and during commercial I asked my friends to throw out ideas for names. Several good suggestions but this is the one that stuck. Turns out it is the name given to a home in Manhattan Beach that my friends just inherited.

I love the name WEST WINDS!!! Makes sense too, seeing that the storms generated that bring Sea Glass to me are North Western, Western or South Western. So there you have it…The WEST WINDS Sea Glass Collection.

Designing and making right now…be watching for pics! You’ll be able to shop soon!

Fair Winds and Calm Seas,
