Black Spinel, Gold Seed buy Vintage Turtle Pendant Necklace

Gorgeous necklace! This necklace was made with subtly faceted Black Spinel beads and sand textured gold beads. Interspersed between the beads are tiny Black Spinel seeds and titanium Hematite Seeds. This necklace features a black and gold turtle pendant with a floral etched shell and red rhinestone eyes. The turtle pendant came from a vintage (60s/70s) jewelry collection that I acquired at an estate sale around 10 years ago. The pendant was originally a brooch. I removed the back pin and filed the backing to transform the brooch into a wearable pendant.

Necklace is adjustable from 19.5 inches 21 inches long and connects with a lobster clasp.

Beads are strung on SoftFlex which is a durable, flexible, nylon coated wire.

All of my pieces are handmade and are one of a kind. No two of my designs are exactly the same. I also do custom work and can make alterations to reflect your preferences.
