Discover the quiet resilience of nature with our Softshell Spirit Necklace and Vertebrae Whisper Earrings. This unique set features ethically salvaged softshell turtle remains, transformed into wearable art that honors the beauty found even in unexpected journeys. The necklace showcases the distinctive nuchal portion of the carapace, while the earrings delicately feature cervical vertebrae, both adorned with the serene hues of amethyst and turquoise, accented with the elegance of 925 silver.
 
The centerpiece of the necklace is the nuchal section of a softshell turtle carapace. Each natural indent and divot on the shell tells a silent story of the turtle's life. Flanking this unique focal point are alternating 4mm round amethyst and 4mm round turquoise beads, leading to a strand of 8mm round turquoise interspersed with large, organic Hawaiian chip amethyst. The design then transitions to an alternating pattern of 8mm turquoise and 6mm amethyst beads, creating a harmonious flow of color and texture that ascends to a sophisticated Pearl Buckle and Ingot Buckle .925 sterling silver buckle closure. The necklace is meticulously finished with bead stoppers and wire guards for lasting durability.
 
The matching earrings each feature a delicate 2.25-inch softshell turtle cervical vertebrae, presented sideways to showcase its intricate structure. These vertebrae are thoughtfully dressed with small accents of turquoise and amethyst beads, secured with elegant .925 silver elements, creating a graceful 2-inch drop. They are a subtle yet powerful echo of the resilience embodied by the turtle.
 
This softshell turtle specimen was ethically salvaged after being struck on the road, giving its unique form a second life as a piece of art. By wearing this set, you connect with the beauty that can be found in repurposing and honor the delicate balance of nature and the challenges faced by wildlife in our modern world.
 
This Softshell Spirit Necklace and Vertebrae Whisper Earring Set is for the individual who appreciates understated elegance with a meaningful story. It speaks to a quiet strength and a reverence for the intricate beauty of the natural world.
