Description from the seller
Title: Exclusive Mid-Century Turtle Brooch / Pendant (14g) with Emeralds, Sapphires, Rubies & Diamonds – 18K Gold
Description:
A charming and rare animal brooch in the shape of a turtle from the 1950s–1960s (Mid-Century). This handcrafted unique piece testifies to the highest Italian goldsmithing craft.
• Material: 750 yellow gold (18 carat) for the body, in masterful combination with silver for the gemstone bed of the shell, to bring out the colors optimally. Clearly stamped with “750” on one paw and “800” on the underside.
• (3rd hallmark on the tail unfortunately not legible – Italian jeweler’s hallmark?)
•
• Weight: About 14.5 grams.
•
• Setting: The artistic shell is richly set with three splendid green emeralds in cabochon cut along the first ridge. Flanked by intensely blue sapphires and a surrounding wreath of bright red rubies. The four legs are set with fine diamonds in brilliant-cut. All stones are set in elaborate bezel settings.
•
• Details: The head is intricately worked with a fine texture; the eyes are skillfully sculpted in relief in the gold.
•
• Functionality: Versatile dual function! The piece features on the back both a brooch pin with a safety clasp and a fold-out loop, so it can be worn either as a brooch or as an exclusive chain pendant.
A charming, colorful luxury collector’s item of the Italian “Dolce Vita” style in excellent condition!
