>> 31 January 2010
This beautiful turtle pendant is crafted in bright sterling silver with an openwork shell pattern overlaying a pear-shaped cabochon of green Chinese jade. It presents on an 18-inch sterling silver box chain. In Chinese culture, the turtle is a symbol of strength, endurance, patience, and longevity. It symbolizes the universe also, with its shell representing the great dome of the sky, and its belly the earth and the waters.
