This Sterling Silver Hawaiian Blue Opal Honu Bracelet features a turtle. Honu is simply the hawaiian word for turtle.

In Chinese mythology, the sea turtle was believed to represent wisdom and the turtle features in many Hawaiian legends. One legend tells of a green sea turtle called Kauila, who could change herself into a girl to watch over the children playing on the beach. And when Kauila’s mother dug her nest, a fresh water spring appeared for the children to drink the water. Kauila is the mythical mother of all turtles and a guardian of children.

Turtles were also believed to be the guides for the first voyagers to Hawaii.

The turtle itself been considered lucky in many cultures so it was inevitable that the turtle became a popular subject for charms.

This opal turtle charm bracelet is 7 and a half inches long and half an inch in width. Made from sterling silver with blue opal inlay, it is a lovely adaptation of the October birthstone..
