A cute Victorian pearl turtle pendant.
 
This quirky Victorian pendant has been made using a mabe pearl (blister pearl) as the body of a turtle and setting it simply in gold with gold feet, tail and head.
 
The head is set with a diamond and 2 demantoid garnets as eyes and there is a large runner ring to pass a chain or ribbon through.
 
The turtle symbolises good health and long life.
