Rocky Turtle Accessory

Long regarded as a symbol of longevity, wisdom, and steadfastness, the turtle has appeared throughout decorative arts and folklore across cultures for centuries. The Rocky Turtle Accessory reimagines this enduring motif in cast brass with an antique aluminum finish, its shell formed from a sparkling cluster of natural rock crystal that catches and reflects light from every angle. The contrast between the sculpted metal form and the crystalline surface creates a piece that feels both organic and extraordinary. Equal parts natural specimen and decorative object, it reflects Maitland-Smith's enduring appreciation for rare materials, craftsmanship, and the art of collecting.
