{"product_id":"sea-turtle-premium-pin-a158pr","title":"Sea Turtle Premium Pin – Pewter Lapel Pin, Made in USA","description":"\u003cp\u003eOften called the \"Ancient Mariner\" of the ocean, the Sea Turtle is a remarkable marine reptile celebrated for its enduring grace and ancient lineage. These serene creatures have traversed the world's oceans for millions of years, earning them the nickname \"Living Fossil.\" Sea Turtles belong to a select group of reptiles that have adapted to life in the sea, sharing a distant kinship with land-dwelling turtles and tortoises. With streamlined bodies and powerful flippers, they glide gracefully through the water, reminiscent of birds in flight. They are known for their long migrations, which can span thousands of miles, akin to the remarkable journeys of migratory birds. These magnificent creatures are vital to marine ecosystems, where they play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of aquatic life. Whether it's the green sea turtle, loggerhead, or leatherback, each species contributes to the rich tapestry of marine biodiversity, making them emblematic ambassadors of the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e certified American pewter, lead-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-finished in Port Gamble, Washington, USA, from a line of pewter jewelry crafted in America since 1991\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it lead-free?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.

And each clutch seats into a small groove on the post with a firm, satisfying click — haptic feedback that tells you it's locked, and a detail cheaper pins skip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand-painted, marine-grade finish.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each hand-painted piece is carefully painted by an artisan right in our studio in Port Gamble, WA. The proprietary multistep process includes priming each piece followed by meticulous painting by hand in acrylics with fine detail work to bring the item to life with incredible detail.
