very pretty ...
I love turtles and this is just an awesome little turtle Jenni!!
I love the gemstones on the back and the detail on head and feet and tail are a bonus to this beautiful piece.
Beautiful turtle there- the big round gem in his back is beautiful and furthermore, his little individual scales are all notched in on his head and flippers- I love that!
Beautiful little turtle!
Very interesting and beautiful!
Sincere thanks to all for the kind love

Thanks so much BluegrassGuy for your super compliment, glad you liked this turtle & really appreciate your kindness
Absolutely true Searching, there is something very special & regal about cabochon jewelry, done beautifully by a couple of your faves Trifari and Sarah Coventry. Thank you for your awesome praise as always
Scott thank you for your great compliment & agree about turtles, they are magnificent animals and very diverse in art depictions jewelry etc. I saw a pair of enormous Galapagos turtles at a Hawaiian zoo that looked positively prehistoric
Thank you Phil for your fabulous kind words about this sparkly turtle, I too think the textured goldtone detail of the head, hands & feet are very striking and proper for a turtle's flippers
Lauren thanks so much for your terrific praise for this turtle, the big jade green cabochon on his back is really eye catching and a very turtle-like color. Sphinx was a good designer for animal figurals, they had special touches like this one that were very original
Thank you MrsT for your lovely compliment & finding this turtle beautiful, he certainly has a classy design with the sparkly rhinestone back & cab accents
vintagelamp thank you for your wonderful praise for my little turtle, agreed it is a most interesting design and enhances the real animal - their back shells have beautiful patterns but are mostly brown or dull gray green, so this jewelry counterpart is a big compliment to their species
