How they hang, and what comes with them
- The Peaselburg turtle has a loop for your own cord or chain. Its first photo shows it on a cord, but you'll need your own.
- The red spiral is sold as the pendant only. Its photos don't show how it hangs, so ask about it before you buy.
- The skateboard has a polished attachment point and weighs about 0.7 ounces. Every photo shows it on a black cord, but we can't promise the cord comes with it, so ask before you buy if you need one.
Why the turtle changes color as it turns
Dichroic glass has a coating made of many very thin layers. Light shining through it shows one color, light bouncing off it shows another, and both change as you tilt it. A photo catches just one angle, so it only shows one of those colors.
Apart from that shift, the photos show two different turtles, one blue and one light green. If the color matters to you, ask which one you'd get.
Peaselburg Glass is the studio name of Stephen Tattershall, who sells dichroic sea-creature pendants from the Oregon Coast. There's more about him on his maker page.
The skateboard's five colors
It comes in green, yellow/amber, white, blue and dark blue. The color is in the glass, not painted on, and each color has its own photo on the skateboard's page.
Sending one as a gift
Pendants ship like everything else we sell: wrapped by hand, with tracking, in a plain box with no product names on it. Ships the same day on weekday orders placed by 2 PM Pacific. You pick the shipping option at checkout, and that decides how fast it gets there. On orders under $50, you'll see the shipping cost there too.
