Vintage Alpaca silver tone abalone shell turtle inlay pendant

Vintage Alpaca silver tone abalone shell turtle inlay brooch pin pendant. Beautiful Alpaca pendant with abalone shell inlay in the shape of a turtle in the center. Looks like it also used to be a brooch/pin but that part was removed and can now only be used as a pendant unless the new owner decides to get the brooch/pin added back to it. It is in wonderful vintage condition. It does have signs of wear/tear. Please refer to photos for more details. Besides the obvious condition status from the photos the piece is beautiful and in overall great condition for a vintage piece. The diameter of the pendant measures at 2.25in so it is quite a large pendant. If you have any questions or want more photos please let me know! ***Some Alpaca History*** Alpaca silver is a common name for a metal alloy, a combination of metals, of copper, nickel and occasionally other metals such as zinc, tin, lead or cadmium. The alloy also can be called nickel silver, German silver, new silver and paktong. It is used in a variety of manufactured commercial products, as well as in technical industries.
