A scarce signed vintage Los Castillo Mexican sterling brooch in the shape of a Mayan head with free-swinging arms. This elegant solid cast 2-3/4" x 1-3/8" silver pin weighs 16.1 grams and besides the Los Castillo Mexico round mark it has the bell mark with 15 and a design number 136. It was apparently purchased originally in the 1950s. I have been unable to resist wearing this brooch - it looks great on and has received many compliments. It is in excellent original condition with no bends, corrosion, losses, damage or repairs. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are secondhand and may have slight signs of gentle use. Surface shipping to the continental U.S. is $6 (other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card; items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US.

A nice old Mexican sterling and agate or travertine pendant and bracelet with cabochon stones c1930. The stones (dyed green to look like jade) are most likely either dyed agate or dyed travertine, which was frequently seen in older Mexican jewellery. The design is in Mexican pre-Columbian design. This set consists of the 6-5/8" long and 1" wide link bracelet with snap catch and the 1" diameter pendant. The picture shows a more recent sterling silver 24" chain with a spring-ring catch on the pendant, but it does not match and isn't present/available with the set. All pieces are unsigned and they test as very high grade silver/sterling. They are are in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, dents, monograms, bends, corrosion, losses, damage or repairs. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted. Trackable surface shipping starts at $12.50 (to the US - other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $95 if paid with a credit card. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US. PLEASE NOTE: we DO NOT accept Paypal.
