Sea glass can be found in various beaches around world. They can be regarded as the works created by both human beings and the nature. Humans make glass and throw them into sea, then as time goes on and on, the sharp edges of the glass are slowly polished to be smooth and the chemical reactions which might be involved in the polishing process change the shape and color of the glass; years later they are flashed to beach by waves. The sea glass comes into being.

Nowadays people prefer to take advantage of sea glass to decorate themselves, for example, use them to make jewelry. It is said that sea glass is good for people‘s heath, so wearing sea glass jewelry has been a fashion for few years.
