Sunset over the Sea...

Red

Red symbolizes courage, power, determination, and strength. Ruby red gemstones are linked to the life-giving sun in many cultures – hence it is associated with health, wellness, and stamina.

Red glass has been produced for centuries, most notably in the Victorian era, and is a rare sea glass find as it often required the addition of gold in the glassmaking process. Your red sea glass jewelry may have once been a glowing ship’s light or from a decorative Anchor Hocking or Avon glassware set.

Orange

Orange represents creativity, enthusiasm, success, encouragement, and happiness. It is said that orange can evoke increased energy and complete wellness.

Orange glass was produced in the early 1900s as carnival prizes, lights, lanterns, and dinnerware. Unpopular in its time, orange sea glass is a particularly rare and exciting sea glass jewelry piece.  

Yellow

The sunny glow of yellow creates warmth and boosts mental acuity. Long associated with hope and optimism, yellow has been shown to boost energy.

The addition of selenium to glass making after WW1 caused the glass to turn yellow when exposed to sunlight. Your bright yellow sea glass jewelry likely comes from art glass, stained glass, and Depression glass.
