Ocean Girl Collection

by Erika Jurney on October 30, 2009

Even here in Northern California the weather is finally turning to Fall. (Horrors, I even had to wear a jacket the other day!) But that doesn’t mean that I don’t love a reminder of the fun summer we just had.

Even though Ocean Girl‘s summer at the beach and mine were apparently quite different, I still appreciate the beachy reminders she evokes in her jewelry.

I’ve had a handmade sea glass necklace my mother gave me probably 20 years ago, and to this day it is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. Try something from Ocean Girl Collection and you may just find your own favorite for the next couple of decades.

A supporter in the fight to keep our ocean’s clean, she was kind enough to donate an amazing necklace to be added to a gift basket that I put together for a Clean Ocean Action event here in NJ. If you know Ocean Girls Collection, you know how truly generous of her this was!
