Vintage European 14K Turtle Brooch & Pendant with Gemstones

This charming Vintage European turtle brooch/pendant is a delightful piece of wearable art. Crafted in 14K yellow gold, its shell sparkles with seven vibrant gemstones — three round rubies, two emeralds, and two sapphires — accented by diamond eyes. Stamped with both a European 585 hallmark and a U.S. 14K mark, it blends international craftsmanship with timeless appeal. Designed to be worn two ways, the piece includes a secure pin for use as a brooch and a discreet bail so it can also be worn as a pendant. Weighing 3.7 grams, it’s lightweight yet substantial enough to make a whimsical statement. With detailed goldwork on the head, legs, and shell, this turtle is as endearing as it is elegant.
