This is a one of a kind Turquoise seaglass specimen set in our signature 24kt gold dipped setting, complete with 14kt gold fill chain and clasp. This rare Turquoise/Teal colored glass is considered one of the rarest colors of seaglass.

By the careful blending ofcopper with cobalt glass, glassmakers are rewarded with the vibrant glow of true turquoise glass. But getting the color just right, and producing it consistently was a major headache back in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s – the heyday of colored glass production.

So turquoise became the sweetheart of the decorative glass producers. Vases, elaborate bottles and seltzer bottles as well as art glass were sometimes produced in the bright turquoise we love. Turquoise was used more for pressed glass items than blown glass vessels, and turquoise sea glass is sometimes still discovered with the subtle tracings of these patterns displayed across its frosty surface.
