A pair of turtle-themed decorative objects. The first is a hinged trinket box in the form of a tortoise, cast from a gold-toned metal alloy. The carapace features geometric divisions, each set with a clear faceted stone, while the head is set with red stones for eyes. The interior is finished with a pearlescent, swirly cream-coloured enamel and features a magnetic closure. This piece resembles designs produced by the Bombay Company. The second item is a smaller turtle figurine cast in a silver-toned metal, mounted onto a natural amethyst geode fragment containing purple druzy crystals. Dimensions measured against a ruler (note: scale in inches only): Trinket Box L approx. 2.75 in Amethyst Piece L approx. 2.0 in. Condition: Both items are in good condition. The trinket box retains all inset stones, and the enamel interior and magnetic closure remain intact. The silver-toned turtle is securely mounted to the amethyst geode. Both pieces show minor surface wear consistent with handling.
