Petroglyph Turtle Charm Sterling Silver | Southwestern Jewelry

Ancient rock art meets modern silversmithing in this Petroglyph Turtle charm, cast in .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. Weighing 3.3 grams at approximately 1-3/16" x 1", the design draws directly from the turtle petroglyphs found across the American Southwest.

Lost-wax casting produces the dimensional depth needed to render the geometric patterns and stylized limbs characteristic of petroglyph art. The centrifugal caster pushes molten silver into every carved line at roughly 50 G's of force.

In many Indigenous traditions, the turtle represents longevity, perseverance, and connection to the earth. The petroglyph style gives this charm a raw, ancient quality that polished realism cannot match.

Ideal for Southwestern art collectors, turtle enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates designs rooted in thousands of years of visual storytelling. Sterling silver jump ring included and attached.
