The teal of the recycled glass* nuggets in this bracelet is luminous and reminiscent of deep tropical waters. They also brought out the darker tones in the gorgeous Aqua/Teal-Spotted lampwork glass beads, which have a subtle sparkle that reveals silvery and turquoise traces as well. I chose the large sterling bicone or saucer-shaped bead because of its dimples, which echoed the spots in the lampwork glass beads. All of these components make for a simple yet quite handsome bracelet, as great with jeans or work attire as it would be with your best cocktail dress!

*Much of what is called "sea glass" actually is recycled glass made to look more irregular and with a slightly rougher texture than buying manufactured glass. If a vendor doesn't specify that they are using genuine sea glass, and if you are not sure if what you are seeing is genuine, don't be afraid to ask a vendor about authentication just as you would with a gemstone!
