Amber-purple squiggly snail body, colorful spiral shell, this fancy garden snail is sure to delight and inspire. The thin spiral shell is a mix of red, teal, and brown. The bail (loop) is large enough for your favorite chains and cords, and the eyes are on delicate stalks spaced far enough apart to give it a thoughtful look (maybe it spotted a ripe strawberry to munch on ;) ) This snail is part of our Insect Series of glass art.

Approximate dimensions (L x W x D)
28mm x 43mm x 12mm (1.1in x 1.6in x 0.4in )
For comparison, a US quarter has a width and diameter of 24.26 mm (0.955 in) :)

Care: I use boro glass (borosilicate), often Pyrex brand clear glass, for my creations. Water and carpet it can usually withstand with ease - a tile counter or floor is another story ;) Although this type of glass is at the most durable end of the glass spectrum, it is still glass, so please be careful. It is not intended for small children or anyone otherwise not able to handle glass items safely.

This listing is for the pendant a la carte. Our pendants have large enough bails(loops) to accommodate a wide variety of cord and chain options for your convenience. For full accessorizing, you can add a leather cord with sterling silver findings custom made by me if you prefer (see shop listing).

Each unique piece of glass art is made in my studio by me and properly annealed in a digitally-controlled kiln for added strength. If you have any questions on a piece please email me. I'm Self-Representing Artist # S-88, and stand by my glass art. Thank you for supporting the handmade arts! :)
