This is an adorable little Silver and Onyx Sea Turtle. The finely detailed turtle’s shell is made of black enamel with silver overlapping shapes. It measures approximately 2 inches from nose to tail and 1 ¾ inches wide across at the widest point. It weighs .60 ounces on my postage scale, which converts to 17 grams. It is unmarked and I don’t know the metal composition. It looks like sterling silver, but it has not been tested.
 
This brooch is in great vintage condition as you can see by the enlarged photographs. I have not polished it as many people prefer the patina that only comes with age. Depending on your own taste, I will leave any polishing up to you; you can keep it in the same condition with its original patina or polish it. Please look at the photos as they are part of the description and show the details better than I can describe.
 
This would be a perfect addition to anyone’s collection of figural jewelry. Great for a turtle lover!
