Sea Turtle Silver Inlay Pendant

A Sea Turtle, Swimming in Stone

This delightful round pendant captures a sea turtle in vivid natural stone and shell — handcrafted in Peru using traditional inlay techniques passed down through generations. A luminous white mother of pearl disc forms the background, framed by a twisted rope sterling silver border. The turtle's body is warm red spiny oyster shell, its limbs deep purple spiny oyster, and its head and body markings rich sodalite blue-violet, with orange spiny oyster shell spots adding a pop of warmth to the head. The bail is accented with red spiny oyster to complete the piece. Each pendant is one-of-a-kind, shaped from solid sterling silver 950.
