Featuring artwork by Kylie Monteleone, these striking statement earrings draw on the symbolism of the turtle, representing wisdom, strength, and protection. The turtle shell is depicted as an eye, while the second piece hangs from a journey line, symbolising the guidance and protection of ancestors and Elders who walk alongside us throughout life.
Blending contemporary Aboriginal storytelling with bold design, these earrings are crafted in a beautiful palette of dusty rose, honeycomb, and blush tones, complemented by gold mirror accents and hand-painted detailing.
