The object takes the form of a stylized turtle, with a raised shell and deliberately naive or schematic details, characteristic of retro jewelry from that era. The integrated attachment loop allows for easy wearing on a chain or cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish has a matte metallic appearance, slightly patinated by time, in a silver tone. The contours are deliberately irregular, and the sculpting highlights the scales of the shell and the turtle's legs, all clearly visible on the front. No colored decoration or stones are present, which reinforces the raw and authentic feel of this vintage accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant is made of metal (according to the keywords provided), with no indication of alloy or gilding. The overall effect is a retro look faithful to the popular post-war jewelry fashion, where stylized animal forms were appreciated for their lucky charm and decorative qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece has a surface with some visible signs of oxidation or wear, particularly on the edges and around the central motif, attesting to its age and authenticity. The attachment loop is integrated directly into the motif, with no visible welding on the front face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis pendant, from deadstock (old, unworn stock), is a perfect illustration of 1950s vintage costume jewelry, both decorative and full of retro charm, ideal for showcasing on a short chain or a long sautoir necklace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is, with visible signs of wear and patina.

The spread of cast metal jewelry at that time allowed for the democratization of decorative motifs previously reserved for fine jewelry, making these accessories accessible to a wide audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFast shipping and careful packaging by a professional seller specializing in antique and vintage items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeywords: turtle pendant, retro jewelry, vintage metal charm, 1950s, animal charm, deadstock jewelry, antique pendant, turtle pendant, old stock jewelry, animal pendant, silver-plated costume jewelry, vintage good luck charm\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AFW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246300778823,"sku":"3bf9e7a4-24e5-40d3-9a0f-410e41ab816c","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/5152\/8775\/files\/s-l1600_e9829f55-7e68-4894-8dce-13718888000e.jpg?v=1782655377","url":"https:\/\/shop.antiquefranceworldwide.com\/en\/products\/pendentif-tortue-vintage-metal-annees-50-retro-deadstock-bijou-ancien","provider":"AFW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
