The green sea turtle, or Honu as it's called in Hawaii, is perhaps the most cherished animal of Hawaii.
Its cultural significance dates back to ancient times; an old legend glorifies the sea turtle as a guardian, who watched over children playing on the beach.
In Hawaii today, the Honu's image is hard to miss.
Anyone who visits the islands will see it on virtually everything: t-shirts, car decal stickers, key chains...
the list goes on.
If you head out to locations such as Turtle Beach, you may even see a real life Honu basking on the shore.
To express their love for Hawaii, many visitors and natives of Hawaii, purchase fine crafted Sea Turtle Jewelry.
The designs, materials and styles used to fashion Honu jewelry are endless and available in all jewelry types including earrings, pendants, bracelets, and rings to name a few.
Variations in Turtle Jewelry include the way the shell is crafted.
The shell part is often sanded down into a smooth sandblast finish giving it the smooth texture of a real turtle shell.
Turtle Jewelry makes a great gift for animal lovers, children, beach enthusiasts, or anyone who loves the tropical life.
A favorite among shoppers is the Turtle Pendant or Turtle Necklace.
Turtle jewelry features turtles of all shapes and sizes, even turtle hatchlings bursting out of their shells.
The jewelry is beautiful on its own but can be enhanced with diamonds, pearls or CZ.
Gold Hawaiian Turtle Jewelry is appropriate for both everyday wear, and special occasions.
If you have visited the islands or are a former resident, wearing a Hawaiian Turtle Pendant will evoke fond memories of the warm Hawaiian beach.
