Survival
With broken back and faded hope, a turtle becomes more self-reliant than it ever wanted.
Sterling silver with septarian gemstone. The turtle was sculpted in wax and cast using the lost wax casting method, then attached to a fabricated sterling necklace.
This turtle necklace features a large septarian stone that was deliberately fractured and then imperfectly repaired to represent the healing process and the scars that lie underneath.
