Turtle Warrior is a brand that has risen out of Nature Seekers--a non-profit focused on the conservation programmes surrounding Sea Turtles in the community of Matura in Trinidad & Tobago. It is a brand that I revisit time and time again, since its inception, when I want to gift my friends and family with a piece of jewellery that is both stunning and environmentally & socially responsible.

Every year hundreds of the critically endangered leatherback turtle come to nest in the rural beachside community of Matura in Trinidad & Tobago. These gentle giants have been fiercely protected by locals for 25 years and now provide much needed income through eco-tourism.
In conserving these creatures and their habitat, Turtle Warrior uses glass bottles and coconut shells that litter the beach to create a social enterprise for the community that has so lovingly and diligently helped to protect the sea turtles.
