NOTE FROM
THE DESIGNER
Georgina Turtle
The Georgina Turtle is hand made and constructed by using a highly polished Abalone shell.
The Georgina turtle paperweight is made by hand using the perfect natural convex shaped of the Abalone shell. The silver is lacquered therefore it never needs to be polished with any special cleaning products. Consequently just lightly dust with a soft cloth and it will look fabulous forever.
Georgina is a fabulous ornament or paperweight. It also makes a wonderful gift for a special person in your life.
The Georgina Turtle is fitted with an exotic Abalone shell. The Abalone has a special meaning in many cultures. Many cultures think of the abalone as a symbol of water and it is often associated with spiritual properties. Its calmness and tranquility protect us from life’s challenges and unsettling passions.

All Objet Luxe sculptures and paperweights are designed to make you smile! The intriguing range of curiosities, sculptures and paperweights make amazing unusual accessories and quirky gifts.
We love collecting, many of our pieces have been created from our personal collections. We spend hours delving through curio cabinets at museums, antique markets and bric-a-brac stalls. The excitement of finding something different and unusual is truly inspiring. Each piece tells a story, especially those gathered by travellers in the 19th century on long journeys to faraway lands. We also find inspiration in nature, such as the ever changing moods of the sea shore.
We create characters rather than objects, they are whimsical, full of attitude and personality. Guaranteed to make you smile. Take a look at our other turtles and tortoise on this website.
Sustainability: Shells used by Objet Luxe are ethically sourced from sustainable sources. We only use the finest quality natural raw materials, all of which comply to CITES and all international environmental legislation.

Care
Silver
We silver plate onto solid brass and then lacquer to give a long lasting durable finish that protects against tarnishing and prevents over-polishing, this in turn maintains the original beauty of each item. You only need to lightly dust with a soft cloth and the item will remain an object of beauty.
Shell
All Objet Luxe shells and items made of shell mosaic are given a final production coat of lacquer which will protect it for a very long time. We recommend a gently dusting to care for all shell products. Be careful not to scratch the shell surface and do not use chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents. You only need to lightly dust with a soft cloth.
Make it special with
Personalisation
Whether you choose to add classic initials, a special message or a memorable date, you can create a truly individual gift for someone special. As individuals, we have been engraving, carving and decorating for thousands of years, to create something special. It was the European jewellery goldsmiths in middle ages, who developed the technique of engraving onto metalwork. Today the method and technique is essentially still the same.
