Tortoiseshell is an extremely rare material made from the shell of the hawksbill sea turtle. Because tortoiseshell has become so rare, many substitutes have been made, but this term refers to the original tortoiseshell. In addition to the unique warm feel of genuine tortoiseshell, its appeal lies in the way it subtly changes shape with heat, adapting to the wearer's body.
[About handling genuine tortoiseshell]
After use, wipe it with a dry, soft cloth, such as the one you would use to clean glasses, before storing it. It does not do well in hot or dry storage locations. Store it in a place that is not exposed to air conditioning or direct sunlight. Because it is a natural protein, it may be eaten by insects. If you are storing it for a long period of time, it is safer to put an insect repellent inside to prevent direct contact.
