DETAILS
Our Hawksbill Sea Turtle hangs off the chain with her right flipper, letting her "swim" across the neckline. Her shell detail is exactly replicating the notable Hawksbill shells and the relief on her front and back flippers give this inanimate pendant life. Looking straight at her face, you can see facial features like eyes and mouth staring back at you. A smooth, polished underside allows her to rest comfortably on the skin.
One of the smallest in our collection, our Hawksbill Sea Turtle can be worn daily or layered with its Spirit Animal cousins.

Though very hard to track, it is believed that there are under 25,000 hawksbill sea turtles remaining, putting them on the critically endangered list. Loss of nesting and feeding sites, mortality due to fishing, egg collectors, pollution and coastal development all contribute to loss of our Hawksbills. However, the most pertinent threat is poaching for their shells, which have been used as decorations.
