This stunning, fine and impressive antique mother of pearl brooch has been crafted in 12ct yellow gold with silver settings.
The brooch has been modelled in the form of a turtle, with articulating limbs.
The circular-shaped shell of the turtle is embellished with a collet set mother of pearl.
Each leg of the turtle is ornamented with three pavé set Dutch cut diamonds, with a further three diamonds to the protruding tail.
The head of the turtle is embellished with ten pavé set Dutch cut diamonds, in addition to two peridots replicating the reptile’s eyes.
The brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and clasp fastening.
This antique brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 12 carat gold and silver.
This impressive Victorian brooch is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card.
Such brooches with free-moving components, in this high quality, are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
This antique turtle brooch is best reserved for occasions with emotional significance and sentiment, as its symbolism, craftsmanship, and antique charm make it far more suited to commemorating meaningful moments than to casual gifting.
This antique brooch with diamonds is excellent quality, set with a stunning mother of pearl panel displaying fine colour and lustre.
The fine and impressive diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance.
The brooch is an excellent gauge of gold and is in excellent condition.

Excellent customer care.
Excellent customer care.
I had to place the order over the phone as my internet was misbehaving. The lady who I spoke to could not have been more helpful and was particularly careful to get all the details correct. I was then informed about the collection and dispatch of the item purchased, by email. The item arrived as expected and it had been most well packed so that no harm could come to it. It was a delight to purchase this item from C6323, AC Silver, and I could not fault any aspect of their customer care. I was highly delighted with my silver mustard pot and it was much better than the pictures on the web site.
