This fabulous turtle is anything but slow! A glorious vintage French brooch from the 1950s, this little chap is quite literally embedded with style. With a shell covered in seed pearls, paste-turquoise legs and garnet eyes set within a heavy gold-plated setting, he’s first to the finish line. It’s true love.
Safety clasp.
