  • In other parts of the world turtles are revered for their patience, intelligence, fertility, and ability to find solutions to all problems and situations.

  • Use them to make fast and easy earrings (I cut off the rings and hook the earwire to the turtle so they face forward when worn)
  • Or use them to adorn necklaces or bracelets (for this I leave the rings on so they can move freely)
