Slow down and enjoy beauty – it is all around you. The turtle is symbol of Earth and helps you to stay grounded.

“I have always loved turtles. Every time I go to a new city or on holiday, I search for something like a pendant or a little figure that shows a turtle. Well … my house is full of turtles!

I found the inspiration for my design from a holiday in Sharm el Sheik, where I was on a boat trip. I was snorkelling, and I hoped to see a turtle…that was my dream. Three excursions were planned that day. During the first and the second excursions, I saw many beautiful fish but no turtles. On the third excursion I had almost given up hope. And just there I saw an amazing sea turtle that was swimming next to me! I was so excited that I could not move. It looked like the turtle was dancing, as a flower cradled by the wind. “ – Giada Manfredi
