There’s an adorable sterling silver turtle pendant here waiting for a look! The shell is covered with interesting detail and the shape is perfect on a pretty sterling silver chain. It has a wonderful hand sewn look, and if you are like me, you appreciate a piece of jewelry that doesn’t look like it came stamped out of some factory. In other words, this is a charming piece! Of course if you’re freaked out by reptiles, this wouldn’t be a good place to go, but I know a lot of people that seem to love turtle jewelry.

It’s only one of a large number of affordable silver pendants designed all by the same artist, a woman in Florida. Come to think of it, Florida must be a pretty good place to watch wildlife and get some inspiration from your surroundings. She must, too, judging by the number of silver and gold jewelry pieces on this site that have something to do with animals.

But you know, even if you aren’t an animal fanatic, you’d probably enjoy this artist’s jewelry. It’s novel, pretty, and comes in a wide price range.
