The Mermaid’s Pendant can be purchased from the Old Mariner for 5,000g. This NPC is located past the 300 wood bridge on the beach, however, he will only spawn on rainy days during any season from 6AM to 7PM.

Due to the need for rainy weather, if you’re planning to propose, we’d suggest retrieving the Mermaid’s Pendant in Spring as the highest amount of rainy days happens throughout the Spring season in Stardew Valley. You can still find the Old Mariner during Summer, Fall, and Winter, the rain is just less common so you won’t have as many chances.

It’s also important to note that if you are already married in the game you won’t be able to purchase the item, however, you can buy as many as you like while you’re engaged.
