White Sea Glass & Wedding Bells: A Classic Beach Bride Jewelry Guide

Bernadette Ignacio — Fri, 29 May 2026 20:36:25 +0000

Real talk: if you’re the kind of bride who’d rather be barefoot in the sand than stressing over centerpieces, white genuine sea glass jewelry might just be your perfect match.

Not because it’s trendy (though white sea glass is absolutely having a moment). But because it’s real. It’s one-of-a-kind. It comes with a story that started long before you ever said yes — and unlike a diamond, it truly cannot be recreated.

So why white sea glass for your wedding?

White sea glass is like the little white dress of the ocean world — classic, clean, and somehow perfect for every vibe. A white sea glass necklace worn close to the heart, a pair of white sea glass earrings catching the light during your first dance, a sea glass bracelet stacked with your existing jewelry — however you wear it, it works. It’s soft enough to feel romantic, raw enough to feel real.

And here’s the thing that really gets us: every single piece of sea glass is shaped differently by the sand, rocks, and waves it’s traveled through. That’s not just a cool detail. For a beach bride, it’s kind of everything.

But it also means this: once a piece is gone, it’s gone— the ocean will never make an exact duplicate.

The best bridal gift for your Sea Glass Sisters & Ocean Mamas

You’ve heard of bridesmaid gifts that end up in the donation pile by the next season; maybe you got one.

But a sea glass necklace or sea glass ring from Betty Belts? That just doesn’t happen. These are the pieces your girls will actually wear — to the farmers market, on date nights, on beach days spent along the Ventura coast — for years after your wedding.

And because genuine sea glass is only getting rarer, the Betty gift for your girls today is worth more tomorrow — not just sentimentally, but as a piece of a disappearing treasure around the world. That’s a gift with weight.

✔ Your Sea Glass Bridal Party Checklist

FOR THE BRIDE: A sea glass necklace that feels like the Ocean found you

Your white sea glass treasure has been waiting for this moment. Our Betty bridal stylists will help you find it.

FOR THE BRIDESMAIDS: Sea glass earrings or rings— same beautiful Betty designs, different shapes

Bonded by the tide, but beautifully their own just like all seas glass sisters.

FOR THE MOMS: Genuine sea glass bracelets they’ll treasure forever

A sea glass bracelet with a special stamped origin and a precious family story all in one keepsake.

Why our Betty sea glass origin stamp matters

Here’s a detail you’ll love: when possible, Betty designs are marked with the origin of where the ocean-tumbled sea glass was collected by hand. We stamp it directly onto the sterling silver or gold vermeil setting. So your sea glass necklace might be a relic from a beach in Spain, a coastline in Japan, or a treasure found along the Gold Coast in California. If you’re looking for a local treasure, Ventura-sourced sea glass is one of our specialties.

For a conscious bride who wears her values, that stamp says it all. Your authentic sea glass jewelry isn’t just beautiful — it’s a tiny piece of coastal history. As beaches change and sea glass becomes harder to find, it becomes something extraordinary to pass down.

How to pull your sea glass bridal jewelry look together

Don’t wait. Real sea glass is foraged, not fabricated... It’s genuinely limited by what the ocean gives on her shores. Allow yourself lots of lead time so our Betty stylists can help you personally select sea glass designs that feel meant for your special day, stress-free.

Mix your sea glass jewelry styles. A sea glass necklace for the bride, sea glass rings for the bridesmaids, bracelets or earrings for the moms — mixing pieces keeps things cohesive without being matchy-matchy.

Request the origin stamp. If you’re going with bezel-set sterling silver or gold vermeil designs, ask about the glass origin stamps for a special feature your bridal party will cherish. It takes your guaranteed sea glass from special to irreplaceable.

Think heirloom from day one. Betty Belts sea glass jewelry is made to last and to be handed down. The classic white sea glass necklace you wear on your wedding day could adorn your daughter’s neck one day — and by then, a piece like this will be even harder to find.

“I love shooting pictures in the ocean and capturing the beautiful place I get to live in, Santa Barbara. My most recent favorite surf adventure was a fun little road trip up to big sur. I packed up my surf board and headed up with a few of my best surfer buddies. Big Sur is one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited, the bright green trees and crystal clear water. It is an unreal experience. We surfed in perfect conditions amongst the incredible beauty.”

My passion is film and photography, I never leave home without my camera… I put all of my effort into film… I love that I get to capture the joy that surfing brings and the true beauty of the ocean.”

My goals for 2020 are to finish my teaching credential and become a science teacher. I also want to get more traveling done. Specifically to Taiwan to visit my grandparents and surf, and a fun surf trip to Mexico! What really gets me stoked are great waves, great food and great company.”

May Betty of the Month: Surfer Susie

Bernadette Ignacio — Tue, 05 May 2020 00:34:58 +0000

You can’t find a Babe with more stoke than our May Betty of the Month, “Surfer Susie” Terry. A soul surfer to the core, we absolutely adore this rad water Mama.

We had a fun chat to get the latest on her days. Here’s some highlights from her seriously cool life story…

“Since I’m retired & not a professional surfer my goals are pretty simple…. Stay healthy & keep surfin’! I spent 30 plus years in the Fitness Industry, what a fantastic career, it’s definitely paid off, ha!.. Exercise is an everyday thang for me & the words ‘self motivated’ has my pic beside it. I have my limitations but I can live with that.

I got into SURFING as a result of my Aunt taking me to see the original “GIDGET” movie. I was mesmerized & inspired. I had been swimming since my Dad threw me in a pool at the age of 6 months old, spent years training & swimming on a Saticoy swim team so water was IN MY BLOOD, apparently!

Told my Mom & Dad I wanted to be a Surfer & they said OF COURSE. Gosh growing up in the the 1950’s – 1960’s was the coolest! I was one of 3 girls surfing in those days in & around Ventura. All the other girls were so jealous cuz I knew all the boys! I loved it! In my Senior year in high school I surfed everyday either before 1st period or right after school. It was just one of those I GOTTA DO THIS moments I determined myself to do. Self motivated I told you, ha! My fave board was my custom 10’2” Dewey Weber my Dad drove me to buy, right before my 16th bday. OH GOSH WISH I HAD THAT BOARD TODAY! “

Fast forward to these days…

After seeing a sea glass ring on another amazing Betty friend in the Ventura neighborhood, I said,” I GOTTA HAVE ME ONE OF THOSE!”… the very NEXT DAY I WENT SHOPPIN’ in search of this Betty Belts store & bought my own SEA GLASS RING! The rest is HISTORY!”

SAVE THE MERMAID

Bernadette Ignacio — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 19:15:23 +0000

The tail end of Mermaid March brings an urgent mission upon the Betty Family.

The outbreak of COVID-19 is causing unfathomable uncertainty and full-blown fear for the safety and livelihood of humanity across the globe.

Everyone is experiencing very serious challenges– from isolation due to mandated social distancing, to feelings of anxiety and panic, and of course, intense stress from an unknown financial future due to loss of work, business, and quality education.

This all hits our Ocean Ohana home hard. Our small Betty biz is barely holding up through this hardship, but staying afloat from the truly amazing swell of online orders, and help of our beloved, loyal customers. We love you, we thank you. We’re forever grateful.

But for other independent biz owners and artists, the devastation is beyond a back-up plan… Our mersister Hannah Mermaid Fraser is facing this extremely rough reality.

She’s the siren you may have seen enchanting the walls in the Ocean Room Gallery at Betty HQ.

Through the support of our Betty Family, we’re doing what we can to…

SAVE THE MERMAID

From March 30th to April 6th we’re

DONATING 10% of ONLINE SALES DIRECTLY TO HANNAH

Additionally, we’re offering 10% OFF YOUR ONLINE ORDERS this week with code: MERMAID10

⁠⠀
In these isolating times, FEELING MORE CONNECTED is needed now… let’s let Aloha lead the way ? Mahalo…

She’s in dire need through these dark waters. This is her story:

“I’ve been reflecting on the quote “If you resist change, you resist life itself”…

How much can change in a week!

I went from living in Los Angeles where my main focus was creating art and planning for the next travel adventure with large community involvement…

And one week later I find myself on a rural property hours away, isolated with a few people, concerned for my health and my future… where my main task has been digging an insane amount of soil to create garden beds to supply food in an uncertain time.

As someone who endeavors to create deeper connection, bringing people together, and thriving on group dynamics, this shift to ’social distancing’ is hard on my heart.

There has been no time for my art. There is no option to travel at the moment. Everything feels unstable.

EVERY. SINGLE. JOB I had has been cancelled. I have no leads on creating income right now.

Money is tied up in non-refundable airline tickets, venue bookings and retreat set-up costs.

I have taken on caring for 6 friends who have also lost their jobs for the foreseeable future. I have counseled friends through breakups, breakdowns and breakthroughs all in the last week.

I have covered expensive rent on a house that I’m not currently living in, to do the right thing by my landlady, who would not even allow me to use a small portion of my exorbitantly large security deposit to cover one month’s rent during a worldwide pandemic.

My vision for this time is to bring forth the project that has been gnawing away at my consciousness since my father passed away. He had been supporting me to create a documentary of the incredible behind-the-scenes stories of my underwater adventures with ocean animals, and with his death, I sadly lost that forward momentum. I have so much footage and experience to share with the world. However I have not had the time, the funds, nor the full skill-set to bring this project to fruition.

But even in this time of extreme financial stress, deep uncertainty, and no paid work in sight, I find TRUST.

So, I am embracing change, I am open to the flow, I am willing to dance in the waters of this emotional upheaval.

I have learned much in my time in the underwater world.

I’ve learned that the fear of something scary is worse than the actual experience.

I’ve learned that no matter how intense it gets, there’s a place inside myself that is beyond all of the chaos.

I’ve learned that when I need to take action, I can trust my intuition.

I’ve learned that adversity has made me a better, stronger person.

We are being asked to face that which scares us.

We are being asked to look at our core values and how we interact with the systems we have built.

We are being asked to embrace radical self-reliance.

We are finding out how we respond to challenge.

Will you be the hero of your own life story? Will you be STRONG?

The true ART of this time is to connect deeper with your HEART.

The canvas is there upon our beautiful Mother Earth waiting for us to grow new life in her fertile soil!

I see now that my Father left me the greatest legacy with this land I now tread on, and so now I am planting seeds for the future, researching composting techniques, and studying life saving strategies!

The magic is felt when you free yourself from the fear.

Humans are faced with an opportunity to evolve into a more awakened state of being.

Our sovereignty will be found through the embodiment of the knowledge we have learned.

Find strength in a conviction that we are all one organism, going through a deep cleanse that is pushing us to make necessary changes in our behavior to benefit the planet as a whole.

Joy is accessible when we realize this process is the birthing pain of a new way of HUMANS BEING in harmony with EARTH.

We are called to make better choices.

We WILL alchemize this,

You and I

and all of humanity…

Bringing our darkness into light,

Becoming a force of connected energy.

We will become the cure

No longer a virus.

~Servant of the Sea ~ Hannah Mermaid
