    Is there no way to buy multiple or to perhaps retrieve it?

      Hello! Having a similar issue.

      There was some sort of bug where the Mermaid Pendant was behaving as an item you could place on the ground (like furniture) and was not allowing me to gift the item to an NPC.

      I placed it on the floor at Leah's because I thought maybe that's how it was suppose to work? The item disappeared the next day and nothing happened. The guy on the beach wont sell me another one.

          I'll have to bump this, because I'm having the same issue. I don't know WHAT happened, all I know is that the pendant was just gone.

          I asked for help on the Steam forums, and the obvious tips were to edit the save file data in such a way that it would either place a Pendant in my inventory, or let the Mariner sell me another one. However, I - and I'm sure that's the same with everyone else itt - have no idea how that would work.

          Please help.

            Tweeted, tho I, and I am sure OP as well, would appreciate a short-term fix to this mess.

              If you accidentally deleted the mermaid's pendant (shouldn't be possible in next update), here's how you can fix it (involves editing save file):

              1. Locate your save folder in %appdata%/StardewValley/Saves
              2. Make a backup just in case.
              3. inside the folder you'll find a file with the same name as the folder. Open that in notepad.
              4. ctrl+F search for "specialItems", and delete the <int>460</int> you find there.
              5. now the old mariner should offer to sell you the pendant again.

              Hope that helps!

                    For the people that had the same problem as me ( which was that u could place the pendant in front off u instead of giving it to ur "lover"), u have to give it to her as a gift, wait till ur cursor turns into a present and then gift the pendant.
                    Hope this helps, i married leah, hope she doesnt bugg out like they say in the forums x).

                    Enjoy the game, and thanks again CorncernedApe!

                      I tried to do this but my computer says that the file doesn't exist. Does anyone know how to fix it?

                        This is a thread from the beta where the game was different. Check the date, this thread is over a year old.

                        Just wait until it rains again and you can buy it again.
