Arts & Crafts UNUSUAL scarab Turquoise necklace

THis is such a strange natural stone that has turquoise in the center that graduates into a deep dark brawn. Looks like the shape of a scarab and it is polished which gives it the look of an eye. The hand crafted metal shell shape makes me think this is in the shape of an Ammonite. I am sure this was probably made with the stone being the focal point and the etched shell back relating to the origin of the shell. The large pendant measures 2 1/2" long and the rich in patina chain measures up to 24". This is so much nicer than the photos and really reflects light in such a way as to show off this really neat old stone. And now for the tedious part that you probably already know: PLease remember that vintage & antique items are not mint, nor are they perfect but they sure are full of old history and charm.All items are sold as is and as found (used and probably vintage) Since this is Irreplaceable t can be no returns on this sale.. Please use photos to make your decisions.My definition of Vintage is a style or method formerly in vogue.
