The 3″ Peaselburg Dichro Large Turtle Pendant is a handmade glass pendant for people who live in glass shops and galleries as much as they live in their hoodies. It’s a statement-sized turtle, about 3 inches (76mm) long, with a full dichro body that flips colors every time the light hits it. If you want a wearable piece that screams “I support real torch work,” this is the kind of pendant you build an outfit—or a whole collection—around.
What You Get
- Serious color shift — dichroic glass throws different colors as you move, so the turtle never looks the same twice
- Actual flamework art — each pendant is individually torch-worked in the USA by Peaselburg Glass, not pumped out of a factory mold
- Big presence, small footprint — about 3 inches (76mm) long, large enough to be noticed without feeling like armor around your neck
- Durable borosilicate build — tough glass that’s made to be worn, not just kept in a display case
- Detailed turtle sculpt — raised shell, shaped fins, and a defined head give it personality and texture up close
- Collector-grade but wearable — sits right in that sweet spot between gallery piece and daily pendant
Best for
This pendant is made for people who already geek out over glass function pieces and want something they can wear when they’re not posted up by the rig. If you’re the friend who points out heady details on everyone’s tube, this is your lane. It also pairs nicely with anyone building out a themed turtle or ocean-life collection on their shelf or alongside their favorite pieces from our broader smoke shop products lineup.
How to wear & care
The turtle comes ready to be strung on whatever you like—leather cord, chain, hemp, paracord, you name it. Just make sure the cord or chain fits comfortably through the pendant loop and you’re good to go.
Day to day, you can treat it like any solid glass pendant: avoid dropping it on hard surfaces, don’t toss it loose in a bag with keys, and you’ll be fine. When it needs a refresh, a quick wipe with a soft cloth usually brings the shine back. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before wearing again—similar to how you’d keep your favorite accessories looking fresh.
The basics
Dichroic glass is where the magic happens here. It’s a special glass that reflects and transmits different colors at the same time, so when light hits the turtle’s shell and body, you get layers of sparkle and shifting tones. In a sesh room or under sunlight, it really comes alive.
The turtle sculpt gives it more than just color: raised details catch highlights, and the curves of the shell throw little reflections that change with every angle. It looks clean from a distance and gets more interesting the closer you get—just like a good heady rig on your favorite dab mat.

Fit & style tips
At around 3 inches, this pendant sits in the “large but wearable” range. On a shorter chain it will sit high and centered as a statement piece; on a longer cord it becomes more laid-back and layered. Because it’s all glass, it has enough weight to lie flat without feeling like a brick on your neck.
If you’re building a full heady look, it plays nicely with simple tees and hoodies so the dichro can do the talking—just like how a clean tube lets a really nice banger or heady carb cap shine. If you’re curating a tray or display, it looks right at home next to your favorite concentrate jars and pocket pieces.

FAQs
- Is the 3″ turtle pendant heavy to wear all day?
It has some weight because it’s solid glass, but at about 3 inches (76mm) it’s still very wearable as a daily pendant. Most people find it feels substantial but not neck-straining; using a wider, comfortable cord or chain helps distribute the weight. - What kind of chain or cord should I use with it?
Use something sturdy enough to handle a glass pendant—think leather, braided cord, or a solid metal chain. Just make sure the clasp and thickness fit through the pendant loop. If you’re already rocking lanyards or cords for tools or dab tools, anything in that range usually works well around the neck too. - Will the dichro colors fade or wash out over time?
No—dichroic glass isn’t a surface paint or cheap coating. It’s part of the glass itself, so under normal wear it stays vibrant. Just avoid harsh abrasives or anything that could scratch the glass, and clean it gently when needed. - How should I clean the pendant safely?
Wipe it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to remove fingerprints and oils. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and lukewarm water, then rinse and dry completely. Treat it like you would a nice piece of glassware you keep alongside your rosin tools or parchment papers—gentle is best. - Can I wear this every day, or is it more of a special-occasion piece?
You can absolutely wear it daily if you’re reasonably careful with your jewelry. Lots of people use heady pendants as their everyday piece. Just be mindful about high-impact situations—take it off before anything rough where you wouldn’t want to risk a glass piece. - Is each turtle exactly the same as the photos?
Because these are handcrafted in the USA, expect small variations in color placement, dichro pattern, and sculpted details. That’s part of the appeal—each one has its own personality, like having a unique, signed piece sitting next to your favorite jars in your storage & packaging setup. - Is this a good gift for someone who’s into glass but not super deep into the scene?
Yes. The turtle design is approachable and easy to love, and the dichro sparkle hits even for people who don’t know every artist’s name. For someone who’s just starting to appreciate glass, it’s a cool “first real piece of art” without needing to explain function or joint sizes like you would with a rig or nectar collector.
