Fanta Sea Glass™ for jewelry is faux sea glass I custom make to resemble Sea Glass using a 4 step process.

Most of our online pieces are Genuine Rare Sea Glass but we still offer Artificial glass on a limited basis. We started making Fanta Sea Glass for wholesale accounts and continue to sell this artificial glass. HOWEVER, we card all of our jewelry as either Fanta Sea Glass™ or Genuine Sea Glass™ and are ADAMANT when selling via wholesale, in art shows or thru the web, the difference between the two glasses.

Many Fanta Sea Glass pieces are from larger pieces of found beach glass that are too large or too rough to be made into jewelry. Some colors are from vintage and antique bottles and vintage glass. By the Sea offers Fanta Sea Glass™ to provide you with a wide range of color choices for your jewelry choices. By The Sea, Fanta Sea Glass™ colors Include but are not limited to: Cobalt Blue, Red, Lavender, Teal, Peridot, and Light Blue and occasionally are offered in very old glass colors on a limited basis. I have tried to emulate the rare colors of old glass found on coastlines around the world! I use the same sources that genuine sea glass comes from, old jars and bottles from antique stores and old dump sites.

Be careful when purchasing sea glass from someone who claims to sell genuine beach glass at cheap rates. Rare colors are just that, RARE, and alot of people out there are selling manufactured glass as "SEA GLASS" or "BEACH GLASS".

It is hard to tell the difference between real or Genuine Beach glass and my Fanta Sea Glass™. I started doing it because everyone wants Blue and Red, and to find 2 pieces of blue (for example in earrings) that are similar in shape size and color, I could only offer one or two paris of genuine beach glass earrings a year!

(For example - A pair of genuine red earrings can sell for a much as $200 where a pair of Fanta Sea Glass TM will sell for around $24). There are very few people that know the value of sea glass that would sell red earrings for less than this.

By The Sea Jewelry is very up front about offering Fanta Sea Glass™, but wants to state emphatically that it is made to look like sea glass and not in fact, not always the REAL thing!

I Guarantee that only your "Sea Glass Jeweler" will know the difference!

Most of my pieces for sale on the Web are of GENUINE Sea Glass.
