  • In Chinese culture turtles symbolize power, longevity, wisdom, wealth, and tenacity.
  • In Japan they are considered lucky. In India a cosmic turtle is believed to support the earth and the seas on its back, and one of Lord Vishnu’s avatars is a giant turtle called Kurma.
  • 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 to adorn necklaces or bracelets (for this I leave the rings on so they can move freely)
