“Every shard of sea glass that washes up on the shore is the result of chemistry and chance. A bottle or bowl, lost at sea, is buffeted by waves and scrubbed by sand for decades, even centuries. Eventually, a crystalline surface develops on the glass and the edges of the pottery turn smooth as bone, a reminder of humanity’s ability to create and nature’s power to erode. Jacqueline Ganim-DeFalco gathers these jewels and, at her Cape Ann Designs studio in Gloucester, arranges pieces of beer-bottle amber against the elusive ship-light red to produce tableaus on brooches and hair accessories. While “mechanically assisted” sea glass is widely manufactured, Ganim-DeFalco uses only material that has gained its beauty on the ocean floor.”
