This one starts on the beach: hours of treasure hunting with my boys, Jared and Jesse excited to see what gifts the ocean left us. We would bring them home and turn them into mobiles, sculptures, necklaces and more.
Sea glass was always a favorite! Each piece having had its’ own original story… what was it, who held it… and now changed by waves, tossed and shaped into something new.
Many years later my youngest son, Jesse, passed away and out of this tragedy I was inspired to create designs that were unique, meaningful and celebrated our mutual love for the ocean and all its glory.
While spending time overseas, I started working with sea glass, stones and sterling silver to create jewelry as a way to express myself and find some peace. J Skylar Designs was formed to convey the importance of our connection to nature and the endless connection to each other.
Each piece is unique. May you wear it in good health and happiness.
