​

A: Of course like all jewelry you should not swim, shower or sleep with it on to prevent possible damage.

Cleaning is best done for all sea glass jewelry with sterling silver or 10k, 14k gold: Take a soft tooth brush and ordinary toothpaste (designate these two just for your jewelry), gently rub the brush over the jewelry on an old towel, paper towel. this is to keep your area neat. you will see the brush and paste get a gray color, rinse it well and the tarnish will come off. This will not harm you, the sea glass or the metal you are cleaning.

Q:How to drill sea glass?

​

A: This is a question I receive often. Drilling sea glass is a long learned process though trial and error, even by myself over the last 13 years. I can't stress this enough, safety is the #1 factor you should always take when drilling sea glass or any glass and using power tools. The use of any power tool with water is extremely hazardous and not advisable.  The supplies you will need: *Eye protection (goggles) *Dust respirator- you never want to breath in glass dust or aerosol vapor with glass particles, this will harm your lungs!! *High Speed Drill- I have both a Dremel and Foredom- they each have their own great features *Shallow tray for water *Sea Glass, I would start with Sea Glass that is not perfect and will not matter if you break it. Do not start with your best orange piece. Start with finding the piece of sea glass I would like to make into jewelry see if it is proper for drilling and hole placement. I have my tray of shallow water, eye protection, drill and dust respirator. I use an N100 dual filter face mask. ( I can't stress the importance of safety for your health and using water around electricity!). Make sure your diamond bit is secure in the drill shaft and turn the drill on. With the sea glass wet, gently on an angle mark the sea glass with the drill bit and make a small crater to mark were you would like your hole. This will help the drill bit catch the glass and prevent it from "Dancing Across" the glass when you place the drill bit where you would like the hole. Drill the sea glass about half way though and repeat the angle mark on the opposite side so the drilling process can be meant in the middle of the glass and will prevent "blow throughs" on the other side. While drilling sea glass applying the correct amount of pressure while drilling and setting the drill at the lowest speed is crucial to not break the glass or ruin your drill bit. Also learning that certain glass is more as I would call temperamental to drill and is more likely to crack from the heat of the drilling process no matter how careful you are. There are also going to be days that you should not attempt to drill sea glass, when you are highly distracted or fatigued, even I have those days and I know to just put the drill down and move on the something else. Drilling sea glass is a self learned skill through lots of practice and takes a long time to perfect the technique so the ratio of successful drills out numbers the number of breakages. Once you have mastered this skill you are on your way to make sea glass jewelry or any craft with your sea glass! Any sea glass questions please feel free to contact me anytime. Happy Glassing!
