ONE OUT OF THREE SEA TURTLES HAS BITS AND PIECES OF PLASTIC IN ITS STOMACH!

Between 4 and 12 million tons of plastic are dumped into the sea every year. In this context, sea turtles are important sentinels of the level of pollution of the seas, because their health is closely related to the general health of the ecosystem in which they live. Plastic waste, in particular, is a dangerous threat: turtles can in fact ingest it either directly, mistaking it for prey, or accidentally during movement, or even indirectly, feeding on small animals already contaminated by microplastics.

According to WWF, the number of sea turtles accidentally caught by fishermen is about 150,000. Furthermore, according to a study by the University of Queensland, at least 52% of these poor creatures have ingested waste.

THE MISSION OF THE PERLA BLU™ EARRING

In addition to being a surprisingly beautiful and valuable accessory, the white gold plated earring has a real mission. That is, with the purchase of each earring you help us to support the Olive Ridley Project, which works to clean up the beaches and seas, trying to save endangered species such as sea turtles by preserving their habitat.

This association is also responsible for adopting, rescuing and caring for these poor creatures and reintroducing them into their natural habitat.

WHAT DOES THE PACKAGE CONTAIN?

All earrings are handmade with zirconium crystal and plated with a layer of white gold.

As we receive hundreds of orders per day, in this last period our warehouses are emptying more and more quickly, so it could happen that some colors are immediately sold-out.

All earrings are made with anti-allergic materials, nickel and lead free.
