Turtle Pendant

The Maldives is home to five of the seven species of the world’s marine turtles. From the rare Olive Ridley to gargantuan Leatherback, sea turtles have graced our seas and shores with their presence for aeons. Though they have been traditionally hunted for their meat, eggs and shells, the mentality toward these amazing creatures have been gradually changing over the past few decades. With the combined efforts of conservationists, scientists and the authorities, many sanctuaries now exist in the Maldives. Their efforts have shown to be fruitful, as turtle numbers have been making a comeback and becoming a common sight for divers and snorkelling enthusiasts. 

The Turtle Pendant was inspired by the most common yet arguably the most beautiful native sea turtle - the Hawksbill. 

In support of conservation through rescue and rehabilitating turtles, Oevaali Art Shop is happy to partner with The Olive Ridley Project since 2021, to give these beautiful creatures a second chance at life. 5% of your purchase of the Turtle Silver +Sapphire Pendant is donated to the Olive Ridley Project and their work for our oceans.

Wear this pendant as a show of solidarity for the continued efforts to conserve these amazing creatures for future generations.
