Abalone Turtles

$95.00

What more perfect shell than abalone to depict a turtle's back? This small mosaic of natural abalone pieces gives the exact texture and color variations of a turtle's back, with an attractive hint of aqua green. The turtles are sterling silver with sterling leverback earwires, and they are the optimal size and weight for every day wear.

One cool thing about abalone, which is a sea snail that is highly prized for its flavorful meat, is that the outside shell is monochromatic and dull. But inside the shell is of iridescent nacre that has a range of deep colors from silver, to pink, to deep blue, green to purple. It is highly attractive, and wonderfully variable, so no two pieces ever look the same. Please see below for a size reference.
