How they hang
- The Peaselburg turtle has a bail loop for your own cord or chain.
- The red spiral is sold as the pendant only.
- The skateboard has a polished attachment point and weighs about 0.7 ounces. One of its photos shows it on a cord with a clasp, though the listing doesn't say a cord comes with it.
Each size is the one its listing gives: the turtle is 3 inches tall, the skateboard 2 inches long, the spiral 2 inches.
Dichro, in the turtle
Dichroic glass carries a coating of many very thin layers. Light passing through it shows one color and light reflecting off it shows another, and both shift as you change the angle you look from. A photo is taken from one angle, so it can only show one of those moments.
The turtle's listing shows two turtles, one blue and one light green, so ask which one you'd get if the color matters to you.
Peaselburg Glass is the studio name of Stephen Tattershall, who sells dichroic sea-creature pendants from the Oregon Coast. More is on his maker page.
The skateboard's five colors
It comes in green, yellow and amber, white, blue, and dark blue, with the color in the glass rather than painted on. Each color has its own photo on the piece's page.
