Leatherback Sea Turtles

The Leatherback Sea Turtle is the closest living relative to the dinosaur and the third heaviest reptile in the world (after two species of crocodile). They grow up to 7 feet long and can weigh 2,000 pounds, that's almost a tonne and they eat jelly fish! The population has declined by 40% since 1980 and there are just 25,000 nesting females left today after being on the planet for over 100 million years outliving every other species. Plastic bags, which they mistake for jellyfish, looks to be their nemesis. Our tempered glass tortoiseshell bracelet seeks to capture some of their magnificence in the colours especially as it captures the light. Leatherbacks, like other sea turtles, are greatly dependent on the Great Barrier Reef.

Sea Turtles

Sea Turtles can't retract their heads and legs into their bodies, so their shells aren't really homes as such, more like a shield. And it is this armour that's helped them to become one of the oldest living species on the planet today. Turtles were trawling the world's oceans over 100 million years ago when T-Rex was hunting dinosaurs on land. Sadly their shield is no match for the threats humanity has introduced into the oceans including plastic bags which they eat mistaking them for jellyfish (their favourite food); discarded fishing nets, which they get caught up in and drown and, of course, they are hunted for meat. But it's Global Warming that will likely determine their destiny. In the oceans, warmer waters are bleaching the reefs destroying the turtles' natural habitats, and on land, the hotter sands in which turtles lay their eggs are producing more female than male turtles. The heat of the sand in which the eggs gestate determines the sex of the hatchlings and, the warmer it gets, the fewer males born and therefore fewer eggs in future. People, the seas and the lands all seem totally aligned against these gorgeous little creatures who've been around forever.

Hawksbill Sea Turtles are so called because their mouths are narrow and pointed, resembling the beak of a hawk. The Hawksbill is the smallest of the sea turtles, growing 2 to 3 feet long and weighing a massive (for its size) 100 pounds owing to the weight of its shell. There are now around 21,500 nesting Hawksbill Turtles left in the world spread across 5 populations. When you think that thousands of turtles are killed every year, you can see why the Hawksbill is now a 'critically endangered' species i.e. on the verge of extinction.

We've created a bracelet capturing the colours of the Hawksbill's shell - the hues of browns and greens it collects on this armour plating as it migrates around the world. The Hawksbill looks almost iridescent after swimming perhaps millions of miles in the deep. Whilst great travelers, their habitats are the world's coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and the Great Barrier Reef, the largest reef in the world, is a favorite  Celebrate this wonderful creature who is over 100 million years old - they have been on the planet a lot longer than us!

Great Barrier Reef

Australia's Great Barrier Reef is to reefs what the Amazon is to rainforests, a massive colony of tiny polyps, trillions of living creatures we collectively call coral. Three-quarters of the world’s coral species can be found on the Reef. Sadly more than half the Reef has died since 2016 so the prospects for this, the world's largest living organism, look bleak. Our turquoise and white bracelet with its gold and pink bands reminds us of what its like to look into the waters around the reef and see this continent of colour, life and beauty.

Coral Reefs

Coral Reefs are the rainforests of the seas - massive habitats for animals supporting more than a quarter of all marine life as well as the hundreds of millions of people who rely on reefs around the world. But unlike rainforests, Coral Reefs are animals not plants, made up of millions of tiny little polyps. They are critical to the oceanic food chain supporting the phytoplankton, the small animals which absorb more than half the world's carbon dioxide and produce more than half its oxygen. Climate Change is one of their greatest threats as it heats up the sea which then bleaches the coral and kills it - in plain english, we are cooking our reefs.

The Iberian Lynx

The Iberian Lynx is so called because it is made up of links or 'Lynx' and, like the gorgeous feline - the Iberian Lynx - it symbolises, its shades of gold. The Iberian Lynx lives on the Iberian Peninsula in Spain and is also known as the Spanish Lynx. With a population of less than 100 at the beginning of the century, the Iberian Lynx is on the road to success with the current count around 2,000. They have a tawny gold coat and a beard which makes them look very cute indeed! Iberian Lynx's grow to about three feet or a metre and live amongst the trees!

The Leatherback Sea Turtle

The Leatherback Sea Turtle is the closest living relative to the dinosaur and the third heaviest reptile in the world (after two species of crocodile). They grow up to 7 feet long and can weigh 2,000 pounds, that's almost a tonne and they eat jelly fish! The population has declined by 40% since 1980 and there are just 25,000 nesting females left today after being on the planet for over 100 million years outliving every other species. Plastic bags, which they mistake for jellyfish, looks to be their nemesis.

The Great Barrier Reef

Population: In the 2021 / 22 Australian summer season a low flying aircraft surveyed a total of 719 reefs on the Great Barrier Reef and found that 654 reefs of them, 91%, “exhibited some bleaching.” The Reef is not classified formally as "endangered' although it is widely reckoned to have this animal status. Estimates quote 50% of the reef as still living.

Coral reefs are the rainforests of the seas and Australia's Great Barrier Reef is the Amazon of the Seas. Over 2,300 kms long, it is the largest living thing on earth and home to 600 species of coral, 6 species of turtles, 215 species of birds, 17 species of sea snakes and more than 1,500 species of fish. Like the Amazon it is being destroyed by a combination of human beings and global warming with over a third of its coral now destroyed.

Three-quarters of the world’s coral species can be found on the Reef thriving on a massive colony of tiny polyps, trillions of living creatures we collectively call coral which also absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. Rising sea temperatures are bleaching (killing the coral) rather like cutting down trees, and destroying this marine habitat and the animals with it including the Phytoplankton, the small animals which absorb more than half the world's carbon dioxide and produce more than half its oxygen. Humans are as dependent on Reef as the animals that live there, so the Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest marine rainforest.

Our turquoise and white bracelet with its gold and pink beads reminds us of what its like to look into the waters around the reef and see this marine continent of colour, life and beauty.

The Leatherback Sea Turtle is the closest living relative to the dinosaur and the third heaviest reptile in the world (after two species of crocodile). They grow up to 7 feet long and 2,000 pounds, a ton! That's pretty good going when you think that their diet is mainly jelly fish! The world's Leatherback population has declined by 40% since 1980 and there are just 30,000 females left today, making them vulnerable to extinction. Leatherbacks have a royal lineage which goes back over a hundred million years and you can see this awesome history etched into their faces, shells and feet. Our tortoiseshell bracelet seeks to capture some of their magnificence in the colours especially as it captures the light. The Leatherback is now an endangered species and despite outliving every other species on the planet the plastic bag looks to be their nemesis.

Sea Turtles

Sea turtles can't retract their heads and legs into their bodies, so their shells aren't really homes as such, more like an armored shield. And its this armour that's helped them to become one of the oldest living species on the planet today - turtles were trawling the world's oceans over 100 million years ago when T-Rex was hunting dinosaurs on land.

Sadly their shield is no match for the threats humanity as introduced into the oceans including plastic bags which they eat mistaking them for jelly fish (their favourite food); discarded fishing nets, which they get caught up in and drown and, of course, they are hunted for meat. But it's Global Warming that will likely determine their destiny. In the oceans, warmer waters are bleaching the reefs destroying the turtles' natural habitats, and on land, the hotter sands in which turtles lay their eggs are producing more male than female turtles. The heat of the sand in which the eggs gestate determines the sex of the hatchlings and, the warmer it gets, the fewer females and the fewer eggs in future. People, the seas and the lands all seem totally aligned against these gorgeous little creatures who've been around forever.
