A tortoiseshell pin is traditionally made from the shell of the hawksbill turtle, known for its distinctive mottled pattern resembling tortoiseshell. Due to conservation efforts and legal protections for this species, modern tortoiseshell pins are now often made from synthetic materials that mimic the appearance of natural tortoiseshell, such as plastics or resins. These alternatives provide a similar aesthetic while being more environmentally responsible.
Small Tortoiseshell was created in 1758.
