This elegant pendant features a miniature storm glass, a historical weather-predicting device popularized by Admiral Robert Fitzroy during his voyage on the HMS Beagle. The sealed glass chamber contains a liquid that reacts to changes in atmospheric pressure, causing the formation of crystals that can indicate upcoming weather conditions.
