Turtle's carry a very special place to all who visit Mackinac Island. While you can't find a turtle here on the island, it holds a much deeper meaning.
The legend goes- A wise, old turtle named Makinauk tells the other animals one day that the Great Spirit in the sky has told him it is time to create a new land. The creation is to be accomplished by putting a handful of the bottom of Lake Huron on the turtle's back. After several animals try, an unlikely candidate returns to the surface with the soil. Upon placing it on Makinauk's back, the turtle is transformed into a great island. The legend has inspired generation after generation to be as selfless as Makinauk and how important community is. Visiting the island, you can tell this is evident today. What a great reminder to carry with you all day. A memento from the island, but also a beautiful reminder of the legend and how we can apply it to our lives.
Sterling silver turtles with encased garnet or turquoise. Inscribed 'Mackinac' on bottom of turtle. Handmade by Mackinac Island silversmith, Frank Bloswick. $240/a piece.

Silver Cuffs
$200.00
Three cuffs, each with their own identity and story. Through inspiration from Lake Huron, they mimic the ever soothing waves. It's up to your interpretation what has caused these waves. Maybe a passing ferry? Or the steady winds that carry the birds across the lake. Possibly a ripple in the water from swimming with loved ones. However you think of it, it is sure to remind you of the beauty Mackinac Island holds. Handmade by Mackinac Island silversmith, Frank Bloswick.
