Mermaids, Sea Glass & Coca-Cola
Sea Glass Coke Bottle Shard
Coke Bottle turn Sea Glass
Sea Foam Green, Coke Sea Glass
This is one of the Sea Glass Treasures from this Mermaid’s stash…a remnant of a Coke Bottle face. I found it several years ago in South Bay, California. I won’t sell, give it away or make Sea Glass jewelry with it. It’s not perfect in terms of rating sea glass but it is a perfect find. It has it all…history, frostiness(some glassy spots but I like it this way), identification markers, you can see the hydration from the inside out. I haven’t traced this one yet…but I gave a similar one away that was manufactured in Oregon, was found in Hawaii, and a Hawaiian girly brought here to California. What a trek! Part of the fun of collecting Sea Glass. Sometimes it’s for making jewelry, other times it’s just plain treasure.

Even though most sea glass shards are not what is considered “jewelry quality”, in my opinion seaglass such as this is just a valuable given the markings and the history behind it.
Here is a really cool website that displays a heritage time line of Coca Cola with the different bottle shapes used through out the 20th Century to combat copycats. http://www.heritage.coca-cola.com/
Enjoy!
