Sand and sea glass jewelry made by hand by Elena’s dad.
Made by Lou MarreroFrom Dunedin, FLFind it at The Great Giftsby & Our House
Lou Marrero learned the craft when he bought Laska Gift in John’s Pass Village, from the owner before him. He never put it down, and he still drops off new pieces at the shops himself.
He fills every pendant, earring and cuff by hand with sand and tiny bits of shell from Honeymoon Island, or with crushed sea glass. No two come out the same.
