The Chinese believe that the turtle has the secret of heaven and of earth within its body because its back symbolizes Heaven and that its underside represents Earth. They love turtles and it is a great Feng Shui symbol of prosperity.

Here is a breath taking design at La Marea restaurant at Miami's Tides South Beach Hotel, decorated by Kelly Wearstler with antique tortoise shells. Kelly is a god-like inspiration with her bold trend setting eye in all that she does! I love how she incorporates nature's beauty into her designs here.

So pretty - I would possibly use them if the look was right. I see no problem in using antique shells - like fur, I just see it as further waste if we don't use what they were (a long, long time ago) killed for!

Hi Andrea, I'm your newest follower :) Found you while browsing coco+kelley and had to check out your blog. So glad I did! Yes, I think I would use them although probably not to decorate an entire wall. However, the colors are so lovely and complimenting to the rest of the room. :) Looking forward to seeing more great stuff from you.
xoxo
