How to wear it
Wear the pendant on a chain of your choice (sold separately) for daily wear, or set it aside for moments of focused intention around personal goals and willpower — browse more pieces in our jewelry collection. Because each piece of Libyan desert glass is natural, the shape and exact golden tone vary, making your pendant one of a kind.
Care & cleansing
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to clean. As a natural glass, it can be sensitive to sudden temperature changes and abrasive cleaning, so avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners and prolonged soaking. Keep it away from harsh chemicals and store it separately from harder stones that could scratch its surface.
