Details & measurements
Bring a touch of classic British glamour to any look with this charming Attwood & Sawyer turtle brooch. Signed A&S on the reverse, this piece showcases the brand’s signature quality and attention to detail.
The domed shell is beautifully segmented in rich green and blue enamel hues that shift and catch the light, creating a lively, iridescent effect. A border of sparkling clear crystals (typical of Attwood & Sawyer’s use of high-quality rhinestones) frames the enamel, while the turtle’s eye is set with a vivid green stone. The body, head, legs, and flippers are finished in warm gold-tone metal with a smooth, polished look.
Attwood & Sawyer, founded in Wales in 1956, became renowned for elegant costume jewellery often inspired by historical designs. Their pieces appeared on Dallas and Dynasty and remain highly collectible today for their craftsmanship and timeless appeal.
This turtle brooch is a delightful statement piece—perfect pinned to a lapel, scarf, jacket, or bag. Its compact size and playful design make it easy to wear every day or for special occasions.
