The turtles are articulated to give the impression of dancing when worn, which also gives the pendants a sense of playful movement. Each is set with an emerald, sapphire, tourmaline or diamond in their shell, and can be made bespoke made with alternative stones.

Pertinently, with each turtle purchased, 10 per cent of sales will go to the Marine Conservation Society, a charity which helps endangered turtles in the Caribbean. There are four types of turtles found in this area of the world: Hawksbill Turtles, Green Turtles, Loggerhead Turtles and Leatherback Turtles and they are all under threat as their nesting sites are disturbed by human activity.
