VALERIE GATES
seaglass wear

“Seaglasswear” is a line that creatively mounts pieces handed down from her family’s collection in sterling silver settings for a distinctly sophisticated, urban look.

Seaglass is formed when discarded glass bottles are thrown into the ocean. Over time, sand, saltwater and rocks smooth away the rough edges and create these jewels of the sea. Today seaglass is more difficult to find because plastic bottles have replaced glass. Gates creates her designs from seaglass inherited from an aunt’s collection. next>>>
