Esme Marcasite Turtle Brooch in Sterling Silver

Solid Sterling Silver brooch with sparkling marcasite gemstones and red garnet eyes. 

The turtle symbolizes the virtue of moving through life with steady determination—consistent, grounded, and deliberate. No matter the pace, it never ceases its journey.

In Celtic tradition, turtles are revered as guardians of the gateways to the faerie world, embodying signs of faerie presence and the promise of enchantments. With their ability to detect vibrations through their shell, these remarkable creatures are resilient survivors, capable of defending against threats. They serve as powerful protectors, guiding us to shield ourselves from harm.
