Small Chinese enameled turtle pendant with longevity symbol
30mm long with loop and 15mm wide
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)
