Black Sea Glass Stud Earrings in 9ct Gold – Handmade in Cornwall
Black Sea Glass Stud Earrings in 9ct Gold – Handmade in Cornwall

Completely black. Completely opaque. And incredibly difficult to find.
These are made with genuine black sea glass – not very dark green or brown glass that reveals its colour when held to the light. These pieces are solid, opaque black.
That's what makes them so unusual.
I handmade this one-of-a-kind pair in solid 9ct yellow gold, creating each setting specifically around its piece of sea glass. I love the contrast between the deep black glass and warm yellow gold, with my signature little gold bubble details around the edges.
They're approximately 10mm across, so although they're studs, they have real presence on the ear without being heavy or oversized.
Finding genuine opaque black sea glass is incredibly rare, and finding two pieces that work together as a pair is even harder. I also have a matching black sea glass ring available, but once these pieces are gone, I can't simply source more of this glass and remake them.
That's one of the things I love about working with genuine sea glass. I can make the gold setting again. I can't recreate what the ocean has given me.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the sea glass really black?
Yes. These pieces are completely opaque black. They don't reveal green, brown or another colour when held to the light, which is one of the reasons this particular sea glass is so rare.
Can you make another pair?
Not unless I find another pair of suitable black sea glass pieces. I don't manufacture or artificially tumble my sea glass, so I work with what I find. With something this unusual, I can't guarantee I'll ever have another matching pair.
Is there a matching ring?
Yes. I also have a one-of-a-kind solid 9ct gold ring made with the same rare opaque black sea glass.
Are these solid gold?
Yes. I handmade the settings in solid 9ct yellow gold. They are not plated or gold filled.
Are they ready to ship?
Yes. This exact pair is already made, hallmarked and ready to go.

from 12 reviewsI absolutely love this wonderful piece of jewellery it is subtle yet special and very well made. It sings of the sea. I would happily buy from Booblinka again, although I would have to save up my pennies to do so.
I am falling in love with this jewellery. I love the idea of recycling sea glass. I have often picked it up and thought it was pretty. But, not knowing what to do with it, thrown it away.
Next time I will keep it and hopefully have my own bespoke item made from a special memory.
This pirate glass necklace is very special. It is well made. I don’t worry it might break like I do with some jewellery. The black against the gold is stunning. The necklace has an unusual, clever clasp decorated with a little jewel. It is really beautiful and I love wearing it.
The extra special and clever part for me is an opening link at the front that lets me change the pendant. I have a couple of gold charms I bought on holiday but never put on a bracelet so have never been able to wear.
I have been able to wear them on this chain which has made me very happy.
I love it so much. Thank you. 🥰
I absolutely adore this piece of jewellery. Never seen anything like this before. Not only this but Marketa gave such a personal service, keeping me updated throughout, and her talents shine through in the necklace. I wear it every day. I get so many complements but more important, I just love it. Thank you Marketa and keep doing what you’re doing.
Booblinka Jewellery is stunning. So well made and unique . I really love my necklace . It feels very special to be wearing this piece of jewellery. Thank you Marketa ☺️
I love this ring. Made with a lovely chunky brushed silver band it feels high quality. The blue of the sea glass reminds me of blue seas on a sunny day.
The setting is just that satisfyingly bit different and quirky.
I’ve had compliments from people who’s eye it has caught so obviously not just me who loves this jewellery.
Thank you Booblinka Jewellery for such an amazing service. You were so kind helping me choose the right gift for my friend's 50th and when it arrived, I was so delighted! The Rose Gold Sea Glass necklace is stunning! My friend adores it, thank you, Jan xx
We met Marketa in her workshop and picked out this fabulous piece. It's a paperclip sterling silver necklace with a light teal sea glass stone.
We originally had another piece chosen from the website but when my wife saw this one, she preferred it.
Marketa was so nice and really helpful, well worth visiting her in her workshop.
I’ve bought a few beautiful Booblinka pieces in the past and received gift vouchers, which were a great present! I’ve recently been lucky enough to have bespoke earrings made for me, which I love, and have not taken out since the day I received them! I’ve also had a 40th birthday present made for my sister, the finished piece was just perfect. I would absolutely recommend Booblinka handmade jewellery. It’s clear that lot of love and passion goes into the making of each piece and if you get lucky enough to have Marketta make a bespoke piece for you you’ll love the experience even more!
Booblika engagement ring! Marketa melted down my mother-in-law's engagement ring and wedding band to make a stunning new engagement ring. She kept me updated throughout the entire process and even shared videos of her in action. The design is gorgeous, with the diamond set in little bubbles of gold. It's so special to be able breathe new life into this family diamond, giving it a fresh start while preserving its sentiment. Thank you so much Marketa!
Love my new purchase of a necklace and pendant made by the lovely Marketa. It’s very subtle and delicate but makes a huge statement. Very easy purchase, can highly recommend Booblinka for high class unique jewellery- thank you
Absolutely amazing customer service! I have had the most wonderful shopping experience with this company, nothing is a problem, I bought a beautiful ocean blue topaz ring that reminds me of, one of my favourite places on earth, thank you
I needed a birthday present that was unique and beautiful, I definitely got both. I visited Marketa as I like to see things before. Her craftmanship and design are stunning . With that I also bought a matching sea glass necklace that compliment each other perfectly. She loves both of them. I collect sea glass myself and will be asking Marketa to create other pieces in the future.
