Black Mother of Pearl Turtle Bead - Center Drilled

A small sea turtle carved from black mother of pearl, with a dark, iridescent shimmer. It measures about 20 by 20 millimeters and is drilled from top to bottom through the center.

Because the hole runs lengthwise, the turtle sits upright on a bracelet or necklace strand. String it between round beads, hang it as a charm with a head pin, or add it to beach themed jewelry. Choose 1 or a pack of 5; it makes a sweet gift for ocean and turtle lovers.

Mother of pearl is shell, so keep it away from perfume, lotions and harsh cleaners. Each turtle varies slightly in size and shimmer. Nacre is often tinted, and the black color may be enhanced.

About Mother of Pearl

Mother of pearl, or nacre, is the iridescent inner layer of certain mollusk shells, the same material that forms pearls. It is built from microscopic aragonite platelets that interfere with light to create its shimmer, and it is often tinted to other colors.
