Vintage Miracle Turtle Brooch
This charming brooch depicts a turtle with an amber-coloured glass cabochon forming its shell. The turtle is crafted from a silver-toned metal, with detailed wings extending from its sides, giving it a whimsical, almost fantastical appearance. The design evokes an Art Deco aesthetic, suggesting it dates from the mid-20th century, and the piece is likely a statement accessory from a bygone era.
Condition and Collectibility
This vintage brooch shows signs of wear consistent with its age, adding to its character and appeal. The amber cabochon is securely set, and the pin and clasp appear functional, though testing is recommended before wear. This piece would be a welcome addition to a collection of vintage jewellery, particularly for those interested in animal-themed or Art Deco designs.
