Wampum Shell Lavender Opalescent Grey Necklace

Scottish rare purple lavender sea glass paired with North American quahog shell, also called wampum on 18” sterling silver chain. Paired with opalescent and grey sea glass from world famous Seaham to enhance the purple colours of this amazing necklace.

SIZE
Wampum approx 3cm long - all fittings sterling silver
Sea glass are approx. 2.5cm - 2cm

Sea glass from the East coast of Scotland. Wampum is from the US. The lavender colour in the sea glass is due to the manganese content in the glass, which was originally white, but a century in the Sea and exposure to the Sun have changed the colour to a light lavender. I have paired these with amethysts.

Found in a cove beyond a castle ruin from the 13th century, tumbled by the North Sea since Victorian times - now made into jewellery. Own a piece of Scotland!
