Black Mother of Pearl Sea Turtle and Sterling Silver Earrings - Black Lipped Oyster Shell Tortuga Jewelry

Beautiful carved sea turtle earrings made from iridescent black lip oyster shell and accented with silver pearls — a stunning symbol of strength and protection. These beautiful sea turtle earrings are hand-carved from black lip oyster shell mother-of-pearl, known for its natural rainbow-like iridescence. When the light catches them, the carved turtles shimmer with hues of silver, green, and violet. Each pair is accented with solid 925 sterling silver ear wires for a touch of lasting elegance. Sea turtles are often seen as symbols of wisdom, patience, and endurance. Their long journeys across oceans represent resilience and the ability to stay grounded and peaceful through life’s changes — a meaningful emblem to wear or gift. Black Lip Oyster Shell comes from the Pinctada margaritifera, a tropical saltwater oyster found in the warm South Pacific and Indian Oceans. This remarkable shell is also the source of Tahitian black pearls, prized for their rich dark hues and shimmering overtones.
