Sea turtle with baby turtle necklace

Symbology

The sea turtle is wisdom, patience and one of the most ancient creatures still living on earth. It navigates vast oceans by following the earth's magnetic field, a natural compass that has worked for over 100 million years. In many indigenous traditions the turtle carries the world on its shell, standing for the earth itself, for protection and for a grounded and unhurried approach to life. The baby turtle on the shell adds the dimension of protection and the passing on of wisdom to the next generation.
