The Mermaid Pendant is the key to proposing in Stardew Valley. However, several prerequisites must be met before you can obtain it. Firstly, you need a strong bond with your chosen villager, represented by a 10-heart friendship level. Achieving this requires consistent interaction, thoughtful gifts, and completing tasks for them. Crucially, you must also present them with a bouquet at the eight-heart level.
Another essential step is upgrading your house at least once. This expansion creates the necessary space for your partner to move in.
Once these conditions are met, you can acquire the Mermaid Pendant from the Old Mariner. He can be found on the repaired wooden bridge (requiring 300 wood) on rainy days between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. Keep an eye on the weather forecast to plan your visit accordingly. The Old Mariner will sell you the Mermaid Pendant for 5,000g. Note that this pendant is non-tradable and non-transferable, even if you’re already married.
