The Ao Celestial Totem Necklace

The Ao Celestial Totem Necklace is inspired by Ao, the colossal sea turtle of ancient Chinese mythology, a legendary creature whose immense strength was called upon to support the heavens after they collapsed. The graceful turtle pendant is framed in polished gold and set with a luminous lab-created fire opal shell, divided into geometric sections that catch the light with shifting flashes of turquoise, blue, green, purple, pink, and other radiant hues depending on the variation. Suspended from a sleek box chain, it carries a beautiful symbolism of strength, endurance, protection, and holding steady through change, a small celestial talisman with an extraordinary mythological story behind it.
