    This is a wonderful antique Turtle or Tortoise Clip Brooch Pin with Ruby eyes and a fabulous heart shape Pink Rhodochrosite body in 14 Karat Yellow Gold in a gorgeous three dimensional design from the estate of Hollywood Legend Mary Lou Daves. Ms. Daves' jewelry exemplified her exquisite taste. Her jewels were unique, dramatic and elegant. This is one of the most beautiful antique jeweled animal pins we have seen.

I just love this! This whimsical turtle or tortoise walks delightfully across the body and creates a conversation piece to be passed on for generations. Animal inspired jewels are all the rage today. These antique gem set animal jewels are among the most highly desired and collected today. Provenance: The turtle is from the Bel Air estate of Delmer and Mary Lou Daves where a who's who of Hollywood legends (Cole Porter entertained guests at the piano) were entertained.
