š PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for ONE pendant. Four individual āMermaidās Tearsā pendants are pictured to show the available selection. With your purchase, you will receive one of the four opal nugget pendants shown, selected from the current group. This is not a set of four.
Because each Gilson opal nugget is naturally different, the shape and flashes of color will vary slightly. Every pendant is beautiful and will display its own unique combination of red, blue, green, yellow, pink, and rainbow fire.
š āMermaidās Tearsā is my original hand-blown teardrop pendant design, crafted from clear borosilicate glass with a glowing white Gilson opal nugget suspended inside and a sturdy built-in glass bail.
š Each polished opal nugget creates a sparkling, colorful focal point with beautiful depth and shifting rainbow fire.
š„ Every pendant is individually flameworked by hand and kiln-annealed overnight for strength and durability.
š No two pieces of handmade blown glass jewelry are exactly alike. The pendant you receive will be one of the four currently pictured.
š Approximate size: 1" Ć 0.55"
Each pendant is individually handmade, so measurements may vary slightly.

ā¢ Pendant only, with no chain or cord
ā¢ Silver-plated snake chain in 16", 18", 20", 22", and 24"

I recommend gently polishing the sterling silver using a treated silver polishing cloth. There are many excellent brands available, and they work very well to remove tarnish. I include a silver polishing cloth with every purchase for your convenience. I do not recommend liquid dipping solutions, as they can cause the silver to tarnish more quickly over time and often require frequent re-polishing once used.
If an item is returned without the specially discounted-priced leather cord, you will be charged the full price of $15-$24 for the leather cord. I do offer handmade leather cords for sale in my store. However, when purchasing a pendant, I offer a very special discounted price, as I believe my work looks best with the leather cord.
Custom Orders Welcome
Iām happy to offer custom orders when they fit my signature style, such as creating a piece in a different color palette or slightly different shape or size. I do not copy or recreate other artistsā designs. If youāre looking for a specific style created by another artist, I recommend reaching out to them directly for a custom request.
Wholesale pricing is available on a sliding scale for qualifying orders. I also offer a separate product line designed specifically for museum gift shops and similar venues. Wholesale pricing begins with a minimum purchase of 50 items. Please feel free to contact me for details and availability.
I am the sole artist creating every piece you see in my Etsy shop. Each item is individually made by me using a GTT Sidewinder torch and a variety of high-quality borosilicate glass. All work is carefully kiln-annealed overnight in a digitally controlled kiln for durability. I also photograph every finished piece individually, so the item shown is the exact piece you will receive.

I am absolutely blown away by this pendant! It is even more stunning in personāwhich I honestly didnāt think was possible based on the photos. The way the opal shifts and dances with different colors depending on the lighting is pure magic. In direct sunlight, it flashes gorgeous reds, pinks, and oranges. In softer, indirect sunlight, beautiful greens and blues emerge. Indoors, it becomes a breathtaking rainbow of color. Every time I look at it, I see something new. The craftsmanship is exceptional, and the glass perfectly showcases the opalās beauty. Heatherās attention to detail is evident not only in the piece itself but also in the care she took packaging it. It arrived quickly, securely wrapped, and felt like opening a special treasure. I am an instant fan of Heatherās work and cannot wait to see what she creates next!
