Turtle Shell Earrings in Sterling Silver

These beautifully detailed 3D turtle shell earrings are a miniature version of my original full-size turtle shell design. Handcrafted in solid sterling silver, they are slightly oxidized to enhance every realistic segment and fine detail. Though they look as though they were cast from a real shell, they were entirely hand-carved inside and out, ensuring no turtles were harmed in their creation.

Measuring just 5/8" (16mm) long by 9/16" (14.5mm) wide, these dainty earrings are lightweight and comfortable to wear. They are .925 hallmarked on the bottom and mounted on hypoallergenic stainless steel fish hooks, making them perfect for those with metal sensitivities.

Symbolism of the Turtle
Turtles have long been revered as symbols of wisdom, patience, and resilience. Wearing these earrings connects you to their deeper meanings:

Groundedness & Stability – A symbol of the Earth and its steady energy
Strength & Determination – The ability to endure and persist
Inner Peace & Wisdom – A reminder to slow down and trust your path
These sterling silver mini turtle shell earrings make a unique gift for nature lovers, ocean enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of wildlife-inspired jewelry.
