What Makes It Uncommon

She's All That

A tribute to all the women who have ever crushed it, the Shattered Glass Ceiling Paperweight® symbolizes all the breakthroughs achieved by women past, present, and future. The piece of manually cracked glass is displayed between two solid panes, and the design is set in pewter with "Shattered Glass Ceiling Paperweight" engraved on the bottom. Handmade from imported materials in Lincoln, Rhode Island.

Unique patterns are created when the glass is broken, making each piece one-of-a-kind.

She loved it!!!

My friend is a Black female that has shattered the glass ceiling. This is what she wrote about the paperweight: "Coolest gift I have ever gotten by far. Took it to my parents house to show them. So very thoughtful. Thank you!"


Cherished gift!

One of my favorite gifts for women in STEMM. Academia is tough so we must celebrate all accomplishments by these innovative women. My only suggestion is to sell it with a stand so others can see it across the lab bench or desk.


Disapointed

Too small and not heavy enough to be effective as a paperweight.

Response from merchant

Thank you for your review, we're so sorry you were not 100% satisfied with the Shattered Glass Ceiling Paperweight! We have forwarded your feedback to our team and we thank you for using our Forever Return policy to return it!


Not as pictured

It was a great gift idea and the quality was acceptable, but it wasn't as pictured. I was not satisfied with the uncommon goods stamp on it.

Perfect Gift

This gift was great and has such an awesome message that my friend can glance down at her desk and take the reminder that she's unstoppable!


What a meaningful gift of recognition

This will be a great daily reminder when she sits at her desk that her effort is worthwhile and she's made a difference in my life and many others!


My sister is a "Glass Ceiling Shatter-er" Woman...

My sister is a beautiful person inside & out that truly inspires others to shatter ceilings while she busts through them herself. This was the most perfect gift to get her to encourage her to keep doing it! She just cried, loved the concept, and will probably buy a few for others as well.


Great recognition of achievement in shattering that ceiling!

This was a perfect acknowledgment of a friend's success. Love the idea of the necklace or earrings, but knew she'd never wear them. The actual paperweight was smaller than originally expected but noted in other reviews. Would like for the brand not to be so prominent, but it's just on one side. Quality product. Would buy it again for the occasion. #sweepstakes


Women in a man dominated career

The gift turned out perfect! My best friend loves it and she can't wait to put it on her desk and look at it every day. It's to remind her of all the hard work she put in and how she will accomplish big things in her career! I'm so proud of her! #femalelawyer

The images on the website recently changed. The only image now shows an imprinted description and the uncommon goods logo. What is on the back? I far preferred the blank version. Is the back blank?

Verified reply from Ashley

Thank you for your question! The back side of our Shattered Glass Ceiling Paperweight is blank! The opposite side is what you see in the image with the description and our logo.


This is a gift for our recently promoted boss. Will the item come with a card or some kind of tag that provides the story ("...this is a tribute to all accomplishments...")?

Verified reply from Alexis R

This item doesn't come with it's own story, card or tag. However we do offer gift boxing and you can put a personalized message such as "...this is a tribute to all your accomplishments..."


Can this product be engraved with a customized message?

Verified reply from Alexis

Although we have many wonderful item's here at UncommonGoods to customized, specialize, engrave and made-to-order for that special person; Unfortunately this item isn't one of them. However you can most definitely purchase this item and have it engraved elsewhere.
