Sea Glass Becomes Jewelry

Coastal Living has an interesting story about a Northern California town that is loaded with sea glass:
"Early in the 20th century, residents of Fort Bragg pitched their household waste-glass, kitchen appliances, and sometimes, whole cars-over these cliffs, then owned by Union Lumber Company and known locally as "The Dumps." Wilbur Lawson, 83, of the Fort Bragg-Mendocino Coast Historical Society, remembers poking around the junkyard as a kid during the 1930s. "There was always a fire lit in order to reduce the trash pile," he says, which might explain how that chinaware melded into a slab of solid rock. "This was a playground for us," he recalls. Despite rumors, he says a glass-bottle factory never existed on this coastline
."Here are some beautiful sea glass jewelry pieces, a pair of earrings and a bracelet, from By the Sea Jewelry:
