The Celtic Turtle Necklace is a sterling silver pendant shaped as a turtle whose shell is filled with Celtic knotwork, the interlaced band that runs unbroken and stands in Celtic art for life without end. The knot covers the whole shell, its strands weaving over and under with no visible start or finish.Head, legs and tail are cut plainly, so the eye goes straight to the shell and the pattern becomes the body of the animal. Turtle and knot say the same thing two ways: a long life measured slowly, and a line that never breaks. It is worn as a symbol rather than as a religious piece.
