A charming French bi-colour gold and diamond turtle brooch. The openwork yellow gold shell collet-set throughout with antique cushion-shaped diamonds, the head and feet in rose gold, the former similarly set with a stone estimated to weight 1.2 carats. Bearing French import control marks. Circa 1950s.

The word diamond is derived from the Greek — Adamantos and the Latin — Adamantum, from which the English word ‘adamant’ is born. This name refers to the durability and hardness of the stone. Diamonds are the hardest of all gemstones, being ranked number 1 on the Mohs scale. This is 10x harder than Corundum which is ranked 2 on the Mohs scale.
