Antique Deco Sterling Silver Tortoise Brooch buying Pin

This Tortoise is so lovely. From the 20's/30's era and made from Sterling Silver (tested) and stamped on the back for silver. He is beautifully modelled and a great shape with a bright soft silver patina. He has a simple hook clasp which is tight and secure. If you love Tortoises, you'll love this piece :)

I try to describe my vintage and antique items as best as my knowledge allows, but please study the pictures carefully as they form part of the description. I do not over clean my jewellery as many will prefer the old patina. I spend many hours hunting for unusual antique and vintage items or pieces that I think my customers will love, and I do extensive research to try and give accurate descriptions.

If you are unhappy with your purchase, please get in touch so that I can resolve things for you :) Display boxes not included.

I send my more expensive items tracked and insured. Often I pay more for this than my customer pays me. I try to keep postage costs to a minimum but it's expensive these days and I need to make sure we are covered for any losses so that a customer can always be refunded quickly if something gets lost in the post. For high value items I now insure with an independent insurer and cover this cost myself.

I am occasionally having problems sending parcels in to the EU. Some countries are charging huge amounts for Customs Tax which is payable once the parcel arrives. Sometimes it's just too expensive and customers cannot afford to accept the parcel and pay the Tax. So if you are in the EU please check your countries possible customs charges before you buy. And allow longer for delivery as many EU countries are taking a long time to process packages from outside the EU.
I will be voting to rejoin the EU as soon as we are given the opportunity. I Love Europe and I am a European :)

I'm sorry I can't insure items sent to Australia at the moment as I buying cannot get insurance from the Post Office due to Aus Post rules about posting jewellery. I am happy to carefully send with tracking, at your request but I cannot be responsible for any lost items on the way to Oz and they will be sent at your risk.
