The Great Giftsby

Dad’s Jewelry by Lou

Made on Main Street

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.

Meet Lou

How a little gift shop in John’s Pass turned into a lifetime of filling jewelry by hand with Honeymoon Island sand.

Meet the Family
Meet Lou.

Your beach,
in a piece you can wear

The wedding beach. The trip you still talk about. The shore by the house you grew up in. Bring Lou a little of its sand or glass and ask what he can make.

  1. 1

    Tell us about it below. Where the sand is from and what you have in mind: earrings, a pendant, a cuff.

  2. 2

    We call you back to talk about the piece and the price.

  3. 3

    Drop it off or mail it to The Great Giftsby, 200 Main St, Unit 105, Dunedin, FL 34698. A small bag or jar is plenty.

Rather talk? Call the shop at 727-754-1719.
