Beaded Turtle Medallion Earrings

These stunning handcrafted earrings feature a vibrant turtle design set in the center of a beautifully beaded medallion. The iridescent turtle cabochon shines with deep purples and gold tones. Surrounding the centerpiece are carefully stitched rows of rich blue and turquoise seed beads, accented with sparkling crystal rhinestones that add brilliance and depth.
 
Finished with a scalloped edge of cobalt beads, these earrings create a bold circular design that moves gracefully when worn. A beautiful piece of wearable art that celebrates Indigenous-inspired design and the powerful symbolism of the turtle.

The turtle is associated with the earth, patience, stability, and a deep connection to creation. The Cree creation stories describe land being formed on the turtle’s back, from which the American Continent became known as Turtle Island.
