Tortuga size 9

This delicate turtle ring is handcrafted using 14/20 gold filled wire and finished with a detailed gold turtle centerpiece. Each ring is cut, formed, and soldered by hand, making every piece truly individual. This ring is made using thick 12 gauge wire. Due to rising metal costs and the substantial amount of material used, this piece contains significantly more gold than typical gold filled jewelry. It is priced to reflect both the weight of the metal and the hands on metalsmithing work involved in its creation.

Gold filled is not plated jewelry. It is created by permanently bonding a thick layer of solid gold to a core metal using heat and pressure. In 14/20 gold filled, one twentieth of the total weight is solid 14k gold. That means it contains significantly more real gold than gold plated jewelry and is made to last. With proper care, gold filled jewelry can be worn daily for years without rubbing off, flaking, or losing its warmth and color.

Many people choose gold filled over solid gold because it offers exceptional durability, strength, and longevity while remaining more accessible. It holds up beautifully to everyday wear and maintains its golden glow far better than plated alternatives.

This ring is a size 9 and is not adjustable.
