SeaWaves Jewellery is a proudly independent Coastal Jewellery brand, lovingly created and grown by Karen over the past 25 years. From its welcoming Pod at Amble Harbour Village, the business has become a destination for those seeking beautifully handcrafted pieces inspired by the sea. Every design reflects a deep connection to the coastline — natural textures, ocean tones and timeless elegance brought together in meaningful jewellery made to be treasured.
At the heart of SeaWaves is our signature SeaGlass and 925 Sterling Silver Jewellery Collection and our stunning Natural Gemstone Collection. Each piece of SeaGlass is carefully sourced along the stunning Northumbrian coastline, shaped by years of tides and waves before being transformed by hand into something truly special. No two pieces are ever the same, making every design as individual as the person who wears it.
Karen and Chelsea both create their own Gemstone designs using natural gemstones sourced from all over the world, all set in 925 Sterling Silver.
Alongside this, our best selling Birthstone Collection offers thoughtful, personal gifts — perfect for celebrating birthdays, milestones and special occassions.
Among our most meaningful creations is the Olive’s Legacy Memorial Jewellery Collection, inspired by Karen’s beloved little French Bulldog, Olive. This precious collection was created in her memory and offers customers a sensitive and beautiful way to remember their own loved ones, transforming love and remembrance into something tangible and lasting.
SeaWaves Jewellery is also an award-winning business. In 2025, we were honoured to receive Jewellery Store of the Year at the Prestige Business Awards, recognising not only the quality of our collections but the dedication behind the brand. Karen was also presented with a global international award for excellence, acknowledging her remarkable achievement in building and sustaining her business while living with ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) since the age of 16. Overcoming significant challenges throughout her career, her resilience and determination remain at the very heart of SeaWaves.
Above all, SeaWaves Jewellery is about more than jewellery. It is about craftsmanship, community, remembrance, celebration and strength — a coastal business built with passion, perseverance and a deep love for creating pieces that hold meaning for every customer.

Karen
Karen is the heart behind SeaWaves Jewellery, a coastal-inspired brand she has lovingly grown for 25 years. Inspired by the rhythm, colours and treasures of the sea, Karen designs and makes SeaGlass and Gemstone jewellery that captures the spirit of the shoreline — from shimmering blues to delicate seafoams. For the past 10 years, she has welcomed customers to her Pod at Amble Harbour Village, where locals and visitors alike discover pieces that carry a little piece of the coast home with them. SeaWaves Jewellery is a celebration of craftsmanship, community and Karen’s enduring love for the sea.
In 2025 Karen won a Global International Award for Innovation and Excellence, for thriving in the jewellery industry despite being disabled and living with ME which often leave her housebound. This award has meant so much to her as it celebrates and recognises the challenges she faces everyday in her beloved career.
