Orca set – Necklace, Earrings & Pin

Description

This orca jewelry set is dedicated to the orca Tokitae, also known by her stage name Lolita.

Toki took her last breath on the 18th of August 2023. After 53 long years of sentence for a crime she never committed her suffering ended.

Tokitae was one of the most famous orcas in the world but for all the wrong reasons. She was abducted from her family when she was only a small calf, she spent over half a century in a tank that violates the U.S. Animal Welfare Act and the last time she saw another one of her own species was in 1970 when Hugo her tankmate committed suicide by ramming his head into the tank walls.

This wooden collection is dedicated to this brave girl who taught so many of us about the dark corners of captivity, human greed, and ignorance. She will never be forgotten. We keep fighting in her memory.

Learn more about Toki in our recent blog post here.

ABOUT THE SET

These pieces are completely made of wood as a representation of the orca’s bond with nature.

They were carefully hand-assembled from different kinds of wood layer by layer which creates a 3D effect.

We’ve chosen maple, beech, and nut wood.

These pieces are very eco-friendly. Even though real wood is used, no trees were harmed in the making process.

The wood is scrap wood obtained from different workshops in the area. These keyrings breathed new life into parts that would most likely end up in chipboard.

TO SUM IT UP:

• Every piece is hand-made and unique
• 3 kinds of genuine wood were used (Maple, beech & Nut)
• No trees were harmed. (We collect unused & unwanted pieces from workshops)
• Every purchase helps to protect whales. 25% of profits are donated to TideBreakers
• Custom gift packaging and a sticker are included with every order
• Kind to the planet – shipping includes no plastic

Making a difference

Orca Legacy was created with a mission – to impact the release of captive whales back to their natural environment and end cetacean captivity once and for all.

That’s why we are partnered with TideBreakers, an ocean activist group with a mission to end cetacean captivity. A part of the proceeds from each sale is donated to TideBreakers to cover the costs of their campaigns. Learn more about their work here.

Help us bring captivity to an end.
