Turtle Balsa Earrings

Are tortoises and turtles the same thing? Similar, but not the same. A tortoise is terrestrial, meaning they prefer to spend the majority of their time on land. Turtles, on the other hand, spend most of their time in the water.

These earrings are designed by our artisan partners on Isla Solentiname, Nicaragua. They are hand-carved and hand-painted out of lightweight sustainable balsa wood. Each pair of earrings is carefully carved with a paring knife and then delicately hand-painted with amazing detail. Material: Sustainably harvested balsa wood and non-toxic acrylic paint. Approximate size: .75" to 1”. Fair trade.
