Ethereal Collection Lapel Pin - A Shell Etched by Time
Along a quiet stream where the water sang softly over smooth stones and the banks were brushed with blue blossoms, there lived a turtle with a shell of polished black—deep and lustrous like obsidian beneath starlight.
He had wandered these waters for longer than most could remember, his slow steps etching gentle paths into moss and mud. His presence was calm, his movements graceful, as though time bent to his rhythm rather than the other way around.
The stream was his companion—ever flowing, ever whispering tales of rainfalls and distant mountains. The blue blossoms, delicate and bright, bloomed in harmony with his passing, as if offering their petals in reverence. Each morning, light would catch on the gleam of his shell and ripple across the water, as if the stream itself bowed to him.
He never hurried. The world unfolded slowly and beautifully before him. And as seasons changed and petals fell, the black-shelled turtle remained—a quiet guardian of the stream, wrapped in the elegance of blue flowers and the grace of long memory.
The jeweled turtle is a vintage by Ciner. It is resting by sky denim crystal blossoms and crystal leaves. The stream is represented by a crystal drop framed by rings of rhinestones and pearls and filled with floating rhinestones, pearls, natural blue lace agates.
