This beautiful Hawaiian 2 tone bangle features a traditional turtle and quilt design. Look closely and you will see that the quilt designs are several different patterns. Some are made up of dolphins and some are made up of flowers and leaves.

Turtle has a meaning of long life. It is also known as a creature that brings positive energy to a family.

The Hawaiian women created and adapted their unique Hawaiian quilt designs from their tapa, the clothing that they used before the foreigners came to the islands. The quilt designs would eventually be created in a 1/4 or 1/8 design. The Hawaiian women would also design their quilts based on their beautiful floral surroundings, their old gods, their legends and their sovereign nation. Every quilt they made had its purpose. No quilt was made to just pass the time.
