Back From The Beach
Sea Glass Jewellery
Lynne Robertson is the face behind Back From The Beach (sea glass jewellery). She is based in the Scottish Borders, surrounded not only by beautiful countryside, but also beautiful beaches, the inspiration for her jewellery.
An afternoon course in beaded jewellery with some work colleagues ignited the spark for jewellery making. Lynne enrolled onto a silversmithing course with the Silver Hub in Edinburgh, and has also done courses with the Jewellery Academy in London, ever keen to further her skills and knowledge of this amazing medium.
Lynne’s work is unique in that each piece of glass used has been chosen for its individual beauty, sourced from one of her local beaches in the south / east of Scotland. Sea glass is glass found on the beach, which has been tumbled and smoothed by the sea.

Recently I have sold mainly through my website. Though in the past I’ve sold regularly throughout East Lothian, and the Scottish Borders in galleries and with local craft groups.
I am more than happy to discuss any ideas you may have for a special piece of jewellery.
