This silver toned dolphin cage pendant houses one, beautiful, satin sage faceted uranium glass bead. It is secured into place, and will not fall out. The pendant hangs on a stainless steel 1mm thick chain. Chain closes with a lobster clasp. This necklace is part of The Glow Up Collection. The dolphin pendant is the reclaimed part of this piece.
Dolphin pendant measures approximately 25x16mm. Chain measures 18 inches long.
Comes gift wrapped, with an UV keychain light.
*The Glow Up Collection utilizes only reclaimed jewelry parts and beads (aside from the fresh uranium beads on them many of which will be vintage new old stock, and fresh pins or closures as needed). This collection is part of my own personal venture, to disrupt the amount of salvageable jewelry that gets thrown to landfill. I currently already use reclaimed beads, and sometimes hardware (and disclose which) in my new designs. This collection, however, aims to salvage entire, whole, pieces of jewelry, while donating or recycling all parts that are removed.*
**Uranium glass contains minute amounts of uranium dioxide, and glows under UV black light. Uranium glass level of radioactivity varies by piece, ranging from less than 1 percent to up to 25 percent by weight, but there is no recognized danger to handling or using uranium glass, according to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Uranium glass beads are even further diluted than the glass in glassware, as it is mixed with other glass to make the beads. Under 50CPM is normal levels of background radiation. Under 100CPM is not thought to have any health effects. Outside air in the United States of America averages around 25CPM. I check all my pieces with a geiger meter to make sure they clock in at safe levels.**
