Nestled along the picturesque shores of Massachusetts, New Bedford stands as a testament to the enduring love affair between a coastal town and the sea. It's here, in the heart of this historic city, that Sea Artisans finds its deepest wellspring of inspiration. In this blog post, we invite you to journey with us through the enchanting streets and shimmering waters of New Bedford, the place that has shaped the essence of our handcrafted jewelry, night lights as well as your custom orders.

A Seafaring Legacy

Whispers of Maritime History

New Bedford's rich maritime history echoes through the cobblestone streets and historic buildings that line its waterfront. As the nation's largest fishing port, it has a storied past as a hub of whaling and fishing activities. It was from these very waters that Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick" drew inspiration, immortalizing New Bedford in literature.

Our Connection to the Ocean

At Sea Artisans, the ocean's allure runs in our veins. Our founder, Debby, grew up in the heart of New Bedford, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the sea. The city's seafaring spirit is woven into the very fabric of our unique handcrafted jewelry. When you wear a Sea Artisans piece, you carry a piece of New Bedford's maritime legacy with you.

Celebrating the Scallop

New Bedford is renowned for its succulent scallops, plucked fresh from the sea. These delectable bivalves are not just a culinary delight but also a source of artistic inspiration. Our scallop shell jewelry, harvested directly from the city's scallop boats, encapsulates the city's essence, connecting you to its vibrant marine life.

Crafting With Maritime Magic

Our artisans draw from New Bedford's maritime magic when creating our jewelry pieces. The glistening waters, the call of seagulls, and the salty breeze all find their way into our designs. Each piece carries a whisper of the sea, making it not just a work of art but a tangible connection to the coastal wonders of New Bedford.

Artistry Amidst Inspiration

Sea Shells as Canvases

New Bedford's coastal treasures provide the perfect canvas for our artisans. Sea shells, weathered by the tides and polished by time, become the backdrop for intricate designs. Each shell carries the whispers of the sea, and it's our privilege to breathe new life into them through our handcrafted jewelry.

Embracing the Ocean's Palette

The city's coastal palette of blues, greens, and sandy hues finds expression in our jewelry as well as our night lights. We draw inspiration from the ever-changing colors of the ocean and the play of light on its surface. Our pieces reflect the dynamic and ever-inspiring beauty of New Bedford's coastline.

Artistry Born from Community

In New Bedford, community is everything. It's a place where neighbors know each other by name, and we've embraced this sense of togetherness at Sea Artisans. Our family, including Debby's granddaughters, Cecelia and Annable, and grandson, Bryce, are integral to our creative process. We share a passion for art, community, and giving back.

Connecting Through Art

New Bedford's artistic spirit encourages us to continually innovate and explore new horizons in our designs. It's a place where artists of all kinds come together to create and inspire. Our handcrafted jewelry serves as a bridge between artisans and appreciative wearers, creating a sense of belonging and shared purpose.

Philanthropy and Community

Supporting Saint Jude's Children's Hospital

At Sea Artisans, we believe in the power of art to make a difference. That's why we've pledged to donate $1.00 from every sale to Saint Jude's Children's Research Hospital, a commitment that stems from our deep sense of community and compassion. We've seen the positive impact our contributions have made at Boston Children's Hospital in the past, and we're determined to continue giving back.
