Los Castillo Mexican silver mozaico Azteca "hearts" Bracelet
Sweet, romantic and so appropriate for the time of year, this vintage Mexican silver "row of hearts" bracelet bears the signature of the Los Castillo workshop and is crafted using the "mozaico Azteca" technique. Even though Los Castillo "mozaico" jewelry can be found with abalone inlay as well, it is primarily the saturated, gorgeous greens and deep, rich blues of azur-malachite one expects to see in creations from this line. The bracelet at hand, carefully and ... lovingly hand-wrought, has little surprises of red in the inlay which make it even more endearing...

Hallmarks / Date: fully signed with workshop's name as shown as well as "HECHO EN MEXICO", "TAXCO", "MOZAICO AZTECA" and des. no 205 next to a badly stamped Eagle assay mark; 1950s-60s
