Tiny Sea Tales has its own atelier in Hasselt, Belgium, where all the jewellery is made using artisanal methods. Each piece of jewellery is designed and made to size from the sea glass, which also makes each piece completely unique! The sea glass itself remains unchanged, with the shape entirely determined by the currents and waves of the sea.
The sea glass is collected by Tiny Sea Tales itself from beaches in Europe. The forging of the metals is done by hand, with only the gilding of the jewellery done by an external partner. Finally, each piece of jewellery is packaged with care to arrive well to you.
Tiny Sea Tales’ designs focus on sea glass. The raw beauty of each uniquely shaped piece of glass is preserved and brought out by the gold or silver. Due to the uniqueness of the sea glass, no two pieces of jewellery are the same, this also means there may be a slight difference between a pair of earrings.
The brand works with 925 silver, which means that at least 92.5% is pure silver combined with 7.5% other metals such as copper. In addition, some jewellery in the collection is gold-plated. This is a process in which a layer of 18k gold is applied to the jewellery.
Tiny Sea Tales gives recycled sea glass a new life as an eye-catcher for your look. This way of upgrading materials is totally circular! Even the silver in the jewellery is circular, as this metal always retains its value.
Seaglass, or mermaid tears, are pieces of waste glass that were dumped in our oceans many years ago and found their way to shore after a long journey. The pieces have been turned into beautifully polished gemstones by the constant, natural movement of the water and tumbling over the sand.
This ensures that each piece of sea glass is unique and has a mysterious past, a piece may even have travelled through seas and oceans for over a hundred years!
By choosing handmade sea glass jewellery, you are not only adding a stylish accessory to your wardrobe, but also supporting a sustainable and eco-friendly way of designing and manufacturing. By reusing something previously discarded, you help reduce waste and preserve the beauty of our oceans.

Sea glass travels a long way before it is found on a beach. Yet Tiny Sea Tales has a short supply chain! The brand makes the jewellery all by itself, from design to packaging. The pieces of glass are collected by designer Laura herself during travels and walks on the beach.
She buys the silver through a wholesaler, here COSH! Unfortunately cannot trace the origin of it.

Tiny Sea Tales is committed to protecting oceans and passing on their love of the sea to others. The brand showcases the beauty of nature in their stunning jewellery. Much of the jewellery is entirely vegan, with recycled sea glass always taking centre stage.
Some designs also use shells such as the distinctive cowrie shell. Like the sea glass, these shells were found on the beach. So Tiny Sea Tales works completely animal-friendly.
Sea glass jewellery is not only beautiful, but also carries a sense of history and mystery. The unique shapes, colours and patterns of the sea glass makes each piece of jewellery unique. Whether you choose delicate earrings or an elegant necklace, sea glass jewellery is the ideal eye-catcher for your outfit.
Tiny Sea Tales designs each piece of jewellery to suit the glass, with the brand not following any fashion trends. The jewellery is made at its own pace, not in seasonal collections. Besides its collection of unique sea glass jewellery, Tiny Sea Tales also makes sea-inspired jewellery, such as necklaces with cowrie shells or the ‘wave ring’.
The Belgian brand offers a one-month guarantee on all purchases, within which free repairs are available. You can also go there for the perfect bespoke piece of jewellery. Do you have a beautiful piece of sea glass yourself as a souvenir of a faraway journey? Tiny Sea Tales turns it into a custom-made piece of jewellery, so you can always keep your keepsake close by!
