GLASS FRIENDSHIP HEART Hyacinth Purple
Product Details
Friendship Balls or Hearts grew out of old glass witch balls, which were traditionally hung in windows to catch wandering spirits, envy, or ill intent before it could enter a home. Over time, some glassmakers began shaping them with a softer purpose, as gifts exchanged between friends or loved ones, meant to hold good will rather than ward anything off.
A friendship ball was less about protection and more about connection.
A reminder that someone, somewhere, was thinking of you.
Light catching glass. Intention catching light.
