Slowly but surely, you'll push through uncertainty to see that all is well and much beauty is to be found ahead.  When and if you ever forget this, perhaps this vintage turtle brooch can remind you that strength and faith are on your side.  Freshwater pearls and faceted brass beads from India only add to the subtle shimmering truth of it all, and the sparkling jewels encrusting the turtle's shell add hope to the mix.  A gilt copper toggle clasps the necklace at back. Measures 19" in length.
