i have two red eared sliders and adore them....now all of my jewelry purchases revolve around turtles...i put on this bracelet and by day three, however, the turtle flew off (it didn't break....it just detached itself)...i was happy it saw it fly off and captured it and re-attached it immediately. i don't want anyone to get the impression that this reflects poorly on the craftsmanship of the bracelet.....i am a very active, kind of "tom girl" who is pretty rough on everything...also, i will wear this bracelet til it falls off! it has a neat little "slider" rope fastening that enables u to make it tighter or looser with ease!  i was also considering wearing it as an ankle bracelet as well!
