This is a hand-engraved sterling silver pin-pendant combination with a \'Turtle\' design by Pacific Northwest Native jeweler Justin Rivard. This playful piece measures 1 1/2\" x 1 1/4\" and is signed on the back.The turtle totem symbolizes our peaceful walk on this earth. It represents the path we take as we embark on our journey through life. In contrast to emotional or spiritual development occurring in bursts, the way of the turtle anchors our personal unfolding in a slow, more grounded series of steps and longer cycles of transformation.In addition to being trained artistically as a carver, Justin is a trained jeweler. He is dedicated to applying his skills to new and unconventional forms, while using the same media of gold, silver and semi-precious stones. For example, Justin has created carved business card holders, lighter covers, and cufflinks. Justin trained with Kwakwaka\'wakw artist Ray Dumont for 16 years and has work in Canadian, American and Scottish galleries.Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.keywords: \"turtle totem\", \"Haida pin\", \"Haida brooch\", \"tortoise pendant\", \"pacific northwest indians\"
