Just the sight of an owl or turtle on a piece of jewelry has me automatically reaching my pockets for an immediate purchase. As of now, I own about four owl necklaces, two owl rings and two turtle necklaces. I haven’t found a turtle ring yet but be sure that as soon as I spot one, it will be mine. (Also keep a look out and let me know if any pops up >.<)
Is it the cuteness that makes these critter-like gems such a tempting buy? It might be the rustic quality that wildlife adds to a piece, connecting us city people with the natural world. Or can it be the fierceness in having a ferocious creature on such an opulent accessory?
Whatever it may be, I know for sure that jewelers are keeping the wild in mind.
