Treasures by the Tide
We are Angie and Danielle, the two mermaids behind Treasures by the Tide (look closely at our logo). Our Mother / Daughter owned and operated business is ran out of our homes - Angie (mom) is in Northwest Indiana, Danielle (daughter) is in Chicago - and together we handpick treasures from the shores along the shores of Lake Michigan.
It is our shared love for nature, recycling, designing and teaching others about the rarity of our beach finds that led us to create Treasures by the Tide. We pour our love into our intricate designs and it’s our vision to become the region’s prestige artisans in beach glass and driftwood artwork, jewelry and home décor.
Thank you for stopping by and helping support our passion. Our hope for this site is to educate, inspire and expand our brand to more beach glass lovers like you!

A rare Lake Michigan treasure, shaped entirely by time and tide.
This naturally heart-shaped piece of authentic red Lake Michigan beach glass is an exceptional find. Red is among the rarest beach glass colors, found in approximately 1 in every 5,000 pieces.
Decades of tumbling along the Lake Michigan shoreline have given the glass its beautifully frosted surface and softened edges. Even more special is its naturally formed heart shape—making this a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
A small natural divot on the back remains as part of the glass's history and character, a beautiful reminder of its journey before being discovered along the shore.
Handcrafted with sterling silver and suspended from a delicate chain, Heart of the Shore transforms an extraordinary beach find into a wearable piece of Lake Michigan history.
