• Total Weight: 13.9 Grams (13.9g total weight including stone inlay)
• Metal Stamping / Markings: Stamped "STERLING" alongside a copyright symbol and maker's initials that appear to read "WS" or "IJS" (stamping is lightly struck and hard to read due to vintage pocket wear)

• Vintage Southwestern decorative turtle trinket featuring classic Navajo styling with a beautiful bezel-set turquoise matrix stone.
• Detailed silver stampings depict the turtle's flippers, tail, and head, complete with traditional hand-carved lining accents.
• Shows a substantial, heavy-gauge premium 13.9-gram feel, making it an excellent cabinet token, shadow box display piece, pocket touchstone, or material source for jewelry repurposing.

• Condition: Used / Pre-owned vintage condition with obvious signs of use and wear.
• Structural Status: The top chain bail/loop connection loop appears to be missing or detached from the original frame layout, making the item fit for use as a pocket or desk trinket rather than a ready-to-wear necklace pendant. The turquoise stone is securely locked within its silver bezel.
• Metal Surface Status: Displays deep natural tarnish, silver oxidation, and surface scratches/scuffs from historical wear. The hallmarks on the base are heavily worn and difficult to decipher completely. It is sold completely raw and unpolished exactly as found.
