The combination of these two materials creates a captivating contrast, where the vibrant blue hues of the turquoise beautifully stand out against the shiny metallic silver tones. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of these earrings – from the carefully carved turtle shapes to the precision of the inlaid turquoise stones. The use of turquoise as an inlay adds a touch of natural charm, reminiscent of sunny beaches and crystal clear waters.
Turtle (Edo:wa): Turtle has always been esteemed because it carries its home on its back and goes with the flow of the river, not against it. In some mythologies, the first North Americans envisioned the continent as a turtle because it was surrounded by water. Turtle reminds us to respect Mother Earth.
