Stop in to BEACH GLASS and see our dazzling collection of one-of-a-kind handblown glass pieces sure to suit any decor. Take a trip back with us to a day when many lives were lost in shipwrecks. As the ships went down, glass bottles were broken and lay on the ocean floor. Tossed and tumbled by the sea, eventually the glass shards washed to our shores. Surf, wind, and sand created sparkling, smoothed, pieces of glass with a "surgary" coating. Beach glass or "natures gems" are beautiful reminders of our forefathers who battled the elements of the sea as their way of life. At BEACH GLASS, their legacy lives on in each piece of jewelry, handcrafted by local artists. Take home a tiny treasure from the very seas that surround the beautiful island of Nantucket.
