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
Thanks kivatinitz & Mary for the kind love for this Sphinx turtle, I am so glad you liked it and always appreciate your thoughtful consideration
Thanks so very much Pascale and aura for the kind love for this Sphinx turtle, I'm so grateful to you both & very pleased that you liked this
Thank you rancherswife for the love for this Sphinx turtle, very pleased that you liked it and appreciate the thoughtfulness
