The Tortuga collection is a new range of silver jewellery for Autumn/Winter 2003.
Inspired by a trip to the Far East and the creatures that live on its shores, Tortuga is a tribute in modern design to the fascinating markings of the skins of exotic reptiles and marine life.
A hand-carved Tortuga motif on the surface of the metal, gives the silver in this new collection a different identity. The natural, familiar pattern of repeated soft squares echoes the skin of a turtle and creates a look and feel of durable, luxurious leathers and hides: skin reborn in metal.
The simple bold forms of the Tortuga pieces show its organic motif to great effect. Long, talon-shaped pendants and earrings and dramatic tooth-sized spikes on leather thong the perfect necklace for fashionable desert island castaways.
Wide, smooth leather cuffs wrapped around the wrist and fastened with a silver sabre-toothed bolt! And the rings as with every Sheridan Designs collection get better and better. Covered with the Tortuga design, the smooth, chunky rings hug the finger and fit perfectly. Comfortable and beautiful, they want you as much as you want them. The Tortuga look is contemporary yet exotic with one of Nature¹s most familiar and desirable trademarks. A confident collection of unmistakable Sheridan Designs lines and style with a logo borrowed from a faraway, underwater life.
Choose from either the naturally bright colour of silver and gold or the intense midnight black coated silver.
