Sea Turtle Top View Magnet – Pewter Fridge Magnet, Made in USA

The Sea Turtle, often called the "Ancient Mariner" of the ocean, is a remarkable marine reptile celebrated for its enduring grace and ancient lineage. Serene and ancient, these creatures have crossed the world's oceans for millions of years, earning the nickname "Living Fossil." Sea Turtles are part of a select group of reptiles adapted to life in the sea, sharing a distant kinship with land-dwelling turtles and tortoises. Their streamlined bodies and powerful flippers let them glide gracefully through the water, reminiscent of birds in flight. Sea Turtles undertake long migrations that can span thousands of miles, journeys akin to those of migratory birds. These magnificent creatures are vital to marine ecosystems, playing 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.

Craft & construction

Powerful magnets that actually hold. Our magnet strengths have a pull rating of at least 3 lbs, and go up to 7 lbs for larger pieces. These are not the cheaper ferrite/ceramic magnets. They are high quality neodymium and pack enough pull-strength to grip firmly and hold to a refrigerator with more than a single sheet of paper or photo between. Our magnets are bonded in our studio by an artisan with an industrial-strength adhesive to ensure they never come loose.

Hand-painted, marine-grade finish. 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. The final step adds a coating of marine-grade epoxy — a hard, clear finish that protects the artwork so our product can be used on a boat, outside, or other conditions highly resistant to fading or wear.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
