Although there are many species of sea turtles on and around the Hawaiian islands. The gorgeous Hawaiian green sea turtle, better known to the locals as the honu, is one of the few native turtles to Hawaii. In some Hawaiian legends, the honu was the guide that steered the first Polynesians to Hawaii. In real life, they are known to swim hundreds of miles to their own birthing place in order to lay eggs.  This Turtle jewelry has been made with love and gratitude. I have spent over 20 years studying the pattern and look of real sea turtles, and I think you will find that the head and flippers of these glass pendants have a natural look to them, like the great green sea turtle or Honu as the Hawaiians call it. Each pendant is handcrafted using glassblowing techniques, resulting in slight variations in color, shape, and style. Measuring approximately 2 inches from top to bottom and made from durable COE33 glass, this pendant comes with an adjustable 2mm Korean Wax Polyester
