Sea authentic Turtle Earrings - Carved Tagua Nut Turtle Earrings

Sea turtles start their life with a courageous journey to the water. Female sea turtles lay their eggs in a hole dug into the sand and then bury the eggs and return to the water, leaving the eggs unattended. The baby turtles hatch together over a short period of time and dash over the sand to the water. They have no choice but to bravely set out into the unknown. Sea turtles have come to symbolize good health and long life; their relaxed nature and peaceful determination make it easy to see why they are admired around the globe.

For these earrings, the turtle's shell is hand carved from tagua nut which is sustainably harvested by farmers in South America. Tagua nut is known as the "vegetable ivory" of the jewelry world and is prized for its durability and natural ivory coloring.
