      Love this turtle. I recently found a Gem-Craft bird. Thanks for the info on the mark. It will help me date my piece.

      Sweet little turtle design! These are great creatures to depict in arts/sculpture too- they always look so appealing.
      I have to say I'm reminded of one such brooch of a turtle I have too(except mine's green and blue) but yours is a very smart looking turtle in black and gold and silver and reminds me so much of those little terrapins(he's probably near enough the same size as one too!)

      It's the little things here I adore, the neck, flippers and that tail!!

      Phil thank you so much for your fabulous praise, I think the black & gold shell is pretty elegant myself and I'm so happy you liked it too! Agreed that combining black, gold and rhinestones is a great combo

      Thank you Scott for your wonderful kind comment, he is a rather cool turtle brooch I fell in love with this guy on sight!

      Thanks Maureen for your super comment and I am very psyched to hear you have found a Gem-Craft bird, I'm sure that it's beautiful and looking forward to your posting it! Their figurals are so lovely and well designed, I'm a big fan and glad I could help you i.d. the mark, anytime :)

      Yes Lauren, a little terrapin that is a marvelous comparison, this turtle's shell has scalloping on the sides which doesn't really show as I had to take top side pix for bigger images, but I do think the black & rhinestone geometric shell design is pretty cool don't you. Great comment as always my friend

      Karen didn't Gem-Craft do a terrific job on the textured appendages, I so agree the detail is excellent here. In jewelry there are SO many turtle designs, I have several but my faves have realism to the body, and a colorful shell is always nice. Thank you for your awesome comment & noticing the reptilian detail
