In many cultures, the sea turtle symbolizes creation, strength, and good fortune. Crafted in sterling silver, the pendant hangs from an 18-inch chain that fastens with a spring ring clasp.
Yuu is the younger sister of another featured artisan, Kung. Yuu started working in her sister’s silver shop at young age and, with the help of her family, has opened her own jewelry shop. Just like Kung, Yuu uses sterling silver but incorporates other unique materials that enhance the design.

With the income from their jewelry shops, Yuu and Kung are able provide for their families and their local community.
