What is sea glass? The story behind every Kamaya piece
Every piece of sea glass has lived a thousand lives before it becomes jewelry.
WHERE IT COMES FROM
Sea glass begins as ordinary glass like bottles, jars, windows, that finds its way into the ocean. Over 20 to 100 years, waves tumble it against sand and rock while saltwater etches its surface. The sharp edges round off. The clarity becomes a soft, frosted finish. The ocean transforms something discarded into something rare.
WHY NO TWO PIECES ARE ALIKE
Every fragment the sea returns to shore is a different shape, size, and shade. No two are ever identical. This is why every Kamaya piece is genuinely one-of-a-kind, not as a marketing claim, but as a fact of nature. When our Balinese artisans set a piece of sea glass in sterling silver 925 or gold-plated silver, they're working with something that exists nowhere else on earth.
HOW KAMAYA MAKES IT
We sustainably source every piece of sea glass we use: naturally tumbled by the sea, never artificially frosted. Our skilled Balinese artisans then shape, set, and polish each piece by hand in Bali, Indonesia, honoring the island's centuries-old silversmithing tradition. The result is jewelry that carries two stories: the ocean's, and the maker's.
