k-bay Sea glass Jewelry               

K-Bay is an Outer Banks native and has been collecting sea glass for as long as she can remember. She creates her jewelry exclusively for Donna Designs, using only genuine sea glass. Tidal shifts, currents, and pounding surf contribute to the frosted patina of the glass. Color usually determines the rarity of the piece. Size, shape, and irregularities such as bubbles and texture, also add to the significance. K-Bay studies each nugget before she turns her beach find into a treasure.

Butterfly Wing Jewelry

Our butterfly pendants are breathtaking! They are created from actual butterfly wings. All of the butterflies used are raised on butterfly farms for museums, and are "naturally expired". This method keeps the ecosystem intact, and does not destroy any living creature. Unfortunately, most adult butterflies only average a two week life span. The iridescent light reflecting from the tiny faceted scales on the butterfly wings is like a precious jewel. Turn them over and the other side of the wing is revealed!

Prices range from $29.99 to $299.99
