Channel the gentle wisdom of the turtle with this charming handcrafted fetish necklace. Featuring seven carved turtle fetishes—each sculpted from creamy translucent serpentine or possibly jadeite—the piece exudes peaceful, grounded energy. The turtles are interspersed with genuine turquoise nugget beads and accented by sterling silver rounds, creating a vibrant contrast between cool blue-green tones and the soft, milky carvings.

The central turtle pendant is slightly larger and suspended with hand-wrapped silver wire, giving the piece a natural focal point. This necklace carries the spirit of Zuni fetish tradition, often used to symbolize protection, patience, and longevity.

Details:

Stone Fetishes: Hand-carved turtles, likely serpentine or jadeite

Beads: Genuine turquoise nuggets with natural matrix

Accents: Sterling silver round beads

Length: Approx. 22" end to end

Turtle Fetish Size (Center Pendant): ~1.25" x 1"

Why We Love It:

This piece blends organic materials and cultural symbolism into an easy-to-wear, meaningful design. It pairs perfectly with earth tones or layered with silver chains and is a thoughtful gift for anyone seeking spiritual grounding or connection to Native artisan traditions.
