For Everyone...

What’s a “flick”?
Flick was a nickname given to me by my older brother, Gene, when I was 9. And it stuck.

What are the pendants made of?
Our glass products are made up of various types of glass, most importantly dichroic glass that constitutes the shifting colours and magical quality of the glass. Wanna know more about it? Click here.

Is the metal used in all Flick Glass products sterling silver?
Yes. Always.

Will they break?
Flick Glass jewellery is surprising durable. The glass does not tarnish, fade, chip, or scratch. A friend of mine wore her flickstone halfway across Africa, and hiked, surfed, climbed, river rafted, and ran away from elephants in it. Not a scratch. Our jewellery is, however durable, still made of glass – so If dropped on a hard stone or tile floor from a dizzy height, your piece may break. If you collect all the pieces, including the tiny pieces, we can remake it for you.

Is everything handmade?
Yes it is… with loving care! Trained artists and craftspeople create each piece individually, right here in Cape Town, South Africa.

Who makes 'em?
All Flick Glass jewellery is handmade by 4 amazing creatures, Frances, her partner Carl, her big brother Gene, and our earrings are coaxed into being by Sithewe, a Zimbabwean refugee living in Cape Town.

Where are you based?
We are based in Muzienberg, Cape Town South Africa

What do these pendants do?
These pendants give superhuman powers to all who wear them, attracting longing glances and flat-out amazement from friends and strangers… who needs a cute dog? And if that’s not enough, I was also informed by a high Tibetan Lama that they would be “beneficial to anyone who wore them.” He is a highly educated, seriously amazing and enlightened human being so… I believe him!

For The Individual...

Can I wear my pendant everyday?
Yes indeed, they should be worn at all times... while swimming, showering, dancing, singing in the car, cooking, laughing at silly jokes, crying, breast feeding, and basically while watching love and life flow. Somehow they make everything a little brighter!
Can I order a single pendant?
Alas, we are not set up yet to take individual orders over the internet. We do deal in wholesale orders, however, and we ship world-wide! A wholesale order is 10 or more pieces. (Yes, mixing and matching is allowed.) No, you do not have to have a resale license. Please email us with any other questions!

How do these 'colour families' work?
