The hawksbill sea turtle tortoise shell was sought after for around 2 thousand years for its distinctive and attractive patterns and was highly valued for making decorative items such as combs, earrings & necklaces, and other ornaments. The unique appearance of the tortoiseshell made it desirable for its aesthetic qualities. Our faux tortoise shell jewelry is crafted using alternative materials that mimic the appearance of genuine tortoise shell. These materials are typically synthetic, such as acrylic or resin, and are chosen for their versatility and ethical considerations.
