Turtle Old Man Jewelry features one-of-a-kind jewelry handcrafted by Jim and Cindy Rice, their son Eric, and grandson, Paxton. Our inventory also includes a carefully curated collection of jewelry produced by other artisans that have been diligently selected by the Turtle Old Man team for their beauty and quality. Over the years, we have developed a network of suppliers for our favorite stones and curated pieces, but we are always searching for new and different materials and designs to bring into the Turtle Old Man family.
Thank you for taking time to view our collections!
