Orcas are incredibly intelligent creatures. They are matriarchal, with the female leading the pod and teaching the ways of being an orca. They have culture and different languages, with the languages so varied that orcas from different pods often not able to understand each other. 
Orcas even have trends! One pod in the 1980s started a trend of wearing a salmon fish as a hat, which, whilst short-lived, was even copied by other pods! 
 
Turquoise is porous, meaning it can absorb chemicals such as lotions, creams, and perfumes, which may cause its color to change. I recommend removing your Turquoise jewellery before applying anything that could be absorbed by the stone. Avoid wearing Turquoise in water, keep it away from extreme heat and be sure not to strike it against hard surfaces.
 
Everything is handmade with 100% recycled sterling silver.
