Cape Ann Designs wearable art is made from genuine, unaltered sea glass and pottery arranged on durable metals and other materials such as wood. The sea glass and pottery is all locally found by the artist and sorted according to size, shape, and color! These are all purchased through American artisans including brooch and pendant findings made by PMS Manufacturing here in Gloucester. Glass and pottery is secured with epoxy and wire and decorated according to the style. The wire is functional; therefore it is generally made from copper or brass and coated to create the colors. This type of wire is more durable than some of the precious metals. However, sterling silver is used whenever possible to accentuate a particularly unique shard.
 
Athena sea glass jewelry accessories from cape ann

The Greek goddess Athena is usually portrayed as one of the most benevolent goddesses; strong, fair, and merciful. Athena is known as one of the three virgin goddesses, referred to as virgin because they were able to remain independent, unswayed by the spells of Aphrodite. Romance and marrige did not feature in Athena's mythology. In Greek mythology Athena was, in essence the prototype of the contemporary "career woman." A goddess of many talents, "Athena goddess of Crafts" was an expert artisan herself. The goddess Athena was celebrated as the patron of weavers, potters, goldsmiths, sculptors, musicians, and horsemen.
