Let this fanciful hand-carved Charles Albert® Mother of Pearl turtle pendant, set in tarnish proof Alchemia, be a wonderful reminder of your visit to the Outer Banks! Mother of Pearl -- as lustrous as the sparkling sand -- is a composite material which makes up the outer coating of pearls. The hand carved turtle measures 2 inches long (including bale) and 1 and 1/4 inches at its widest point (pictured on left).
