This item is handmade using fresh Prince Edward Island sand. The idea came to my husband one stormy Winter's day. He thought it would be nice to share our beautiful sand with the world! With lots of brainstorming (sometimes Winter storms are long..), this idea came to us and we are so proud to share it with you all! The sand is hand collected often (for maximum freshness!), sifted several times, and stored in a cool, dry place. The bottles are each 3/4 full of fresh, fine Prince Edward Island sand. The corks are glued in place for maximum strength. The cord is attached to the cork with an eye screw. Necklace length information is as follows: Necklace cord: 18 inches Necklace chain (with clasp): 2.5 inches Eye screw: 1/4 inch Bottle with cork: just over 1 inch Each necklace is $10 and for an additional $2, they can be shipped Canada-wide. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!
