Sea Life Jewelry

Sea Life jewelry represents a category of animal jewelry that resides in the seas throughout the word. Below is a small sampling of sea life jewelry.
Manatee Totem
The gentle, serene, slow moving Manatee is so trusting, and calm, they let humans approach and pet them. Manatee totem for gentleness, serenity and trust.

Gentleness with Fearlessness. “Slow Motion Gets You There Faster” Setting and Achieving Inner Goals. Non-Violence, Calmness, Play, Friendship.



Penguin Totem
Sacrifice. Self-discipline. Self-maintenance. Aesthetic Appearance. Water Mastery. Air Mastery. Uncommon Grace. Dreams. Slipping Between Worlds. Determination.

The penguin - mostly found in the southern hemisphere - is one of the most highly specialized birds/animals alive today, they have completely sacrificed the ability to fly, developed flippers and their feathers have evolved into flattened feather shafts. They are a streamlined bird with a thick layer of blubber. They are generally coastal, nesting on the ground in flat surfaces, burrows or crevices,

Penguins are awkward on land and brilliant swimmers underwater. They are adapted to deep-diving (their heartbeat slows to 1/5 of its normal rate), and can stay underwater for long periods of time. The penguin's dense plumage is waterproofed with an oil gland at the base of the tail. Penguins - regardless of species - leave the sea to molt their feathers. During this time, they abstain entirely from food. Some penguins will also completely fast when feeding their chicks, compromising their own health to ensure the health of their progeny.



Sterling Silver Whale Jewelry Tail Charm


Whale Totem
Whales are the world's largest mammals, and the Blue Whale is the largest creature on Earth! These warm-blooded creatures have blubber to insulate and store food they need. Whale bones are soft and porous, enabling them to store food in the form of oil, unlike land mammals whose bones are hard. The softness of their bones enables them to grow to an enormous size and still float in the water. Underwater, whales don't have good eye sight, but they have excellent hearing and use a technique called "echo location" to communicate with other whales. By using their powerful tail flukes to steer and propel them, they are able to utilize their fins to twist and turn about in the water.



Sterling Silver Seahorse Jewelry Charms

Sea Horse Totem: Protecting the young and those weaker than themselves. Seahorses can also be a bridge between the Spirit Water World and the Living World.
