Sandcastle Magic jewelry is made from hand-made lampwork glass beads created by artist Isabel Wilson in her studio in Santa Cruz, California. Each glass bead is made one at a time on a steel mandrel over a torch and is its own unique miniature object of glass art. “Sand” mixing with fire creating glass is a magical process, and these beads themselves are mystical.

Sandcastle Magic glass beads are made in a diverse palate of tempting colors and a stunning array of different designs and techniques such as dots, stripes, gold leaf, silver foil, dichroic glass, and enamel powders make for an assortment of beads that look delicious to the eye. Isabel mixes her unique handmade glass beads with semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals, fresh water pearls and gold and silver beads to make the one of a kind, heirloom quality jewelry that is Sandcastle Magic.

Sandcastle Magic jewelry can complement outfits ranging from everyday casual to black-tie events. With prices starting at $29 for a simple glass bead pendant with sterling silver on up to a multiple glass bead necklace masterpiece. Necklace styles also come in a more simple chain y-necklace, or a focal glass bead surrounded by tiny seed beads, crystals and silver Bali beads. Bracelets typically have 5, 6 or 7 glass beads mixed with sterling silver Bali beads, or a single glass focal bead surrounded by semi-precious stones and Bali silver. Earrings, as with all other jewelry, are offered in sterling silver or 14k gold filled.

Sandcastle Magic jewelry can be found at Many Hands Gallery in Capitola, California or at several art events throughout the year.
