About this Product
Transition your thoughts to the peacefulness of a tropical Island beach. The colors of the beads I used in this bracelet will remind you of the ocean breeze and the sound of rustling palms. I live on the coast of Massachusetts, and because of this, I tend to design many of my items related to my love for the ocean. I surround myself with ocean colors and I hope you will feel my calming surroundings when you wear this piece. I created it just for you.
Fits a 7.5 - 8"” wrist size but will have some extra stretch. Measurement is 8" long.
Only one available. Free matching earrings!
Vintage beads hand painted with palm trees are the focal point of this bracelet, accented with coordinating glass pearls and gold spacers. I have been collecting beads and stones my whole life. I recently decided to use up many of the odd pieces I have saved through the years. The beads are strung on a very strong coated. The closure is a round toggle and T bar. I secured every connection on the bracelet for safe wearing.
These beautiful scrap beads make a statement and deserve a chance to be noticed on your wrist.

Beachwood
Meet the Maker
Everything I offer for sale is designed and handmade by me. I enjoy creating art of natural mediums. Pottery is my favorite thing to make, followed by Sea Glass and Wampum Jewelry.
I live along the coast of Massachusetts. The shoreline I walk daily with my dog is the one I played on as a child. The stories of hurricanes and homes swept out to sea are always on my mind when I find unique ocean tumbled shards of glass, pottery and bricks. Sharing the history and simple beauty of the sea treasures I find is why I opened Beachwood Street Designs, an online business I operate from a loft looking over picturesque Buzzards Bay.
My pottery line is now celebrating it's 35th year. My slab built pottery is slump molded on beach stones and impressed with shells and flowers. My work has sold throughout the country in many storefronts. My cranberry pottery line was carried by Ocean Spray’s “Cranberry World Visitors Center” and shipped worldwide.
My family tree dates back to the 1600's and includes both the Mayflower Pilgrims and Native Americans. Samoset, who befriended the Pilgrims, is my 11th great grandfather. It is often my ancestry that inspires my original artistic designs.
Please enjoy browsing my designs. May you always have a shell in your pocket and a love for the ocean in your heart!

How it’s Made
HISTORY and HOW it's MADE: I have selected and matched these vintage painted beads and beads of glass, from my personal collection of odd lots of beads. These beads are fun, and have come together beautifully! I string them on extra strong coated wire cord and secure the ends with the bracelet closure for years of safe wearing.
Each unique piece was created by me in my home state of Massachusetts.

Custom and personalized orders
Custom order pottery pieces from start to finish take about 4 weeks on an average. I make every piece by hand from a wet piece of clay. The clay takes time to dry. Each piece is them trimmed and rough edges are smoothed. I hand paint each piece, fire it in my kiln, glaze it and fire it again. Sometimes I have blank piece partially the process, so message me with any questions. I'm happy to work with you.
Personalized ornaments are done within a day. I use an oil paint pen to add names to my ornaments after I make them.
Custom jewelry orders take about 5 business days.
Care Instructions
Jewelry Care Instructions - Use a polish cloth on Silver and sliver plated findings.
Pottery Care Instructions- All glazes used on my pottery is food safe and can be treated like regular dishes and cared for with regular dish washing methods. I suggest hand washing, however many pieces of average size can be placed in the dishwasher's top shelf.
Pottery is Eco-Friendly and Sustainable. Selecting Beachwood Street Designs, when making sustainable lifestyle choices that impact the environment, is the right choice. My handmade pieces are eco-friendly. Made of natural clay and lead-free glazes, my pottery is durable and longer lasting than other materials. The making of pottery does not require the use of any other natural sources, like trees, and makes a sustainable contribution to protecting forest and landscapes across the globe. Because pottery is considered sustainable in sourcing, making, distributing, and disposing of, it has little impact on the environment.
Jewelry is Eco-Friendly: Wampum and Sea Glass is used in the shape that I find on the beaches along a historic whaling harbor.
