Circa early to mid 1950’s …
This exceptional pair of cufflinks was designed and handwrought by the maestro silversmiths at Los Castillo. Composed of trapezoidal, sterling silver plaques, each cufflink boasts a mirror image Greek key motif, embellished with vibrant, inlaid azurmalachite. Known as mosaico azteca, this ancient technique of meticulously inlaying crushed stone was revived and perfected by Jorge “Chato” Castillo, and today remains a highly collectible style of jewelry. HALLMARKS: 925; MOSAICO AZTECA {circle}, Eagle assay stamp #16 {delineated, inside circle}; LOS CASTILLO {linear}; 170. Los Castillo is featured in Bille Hougart’s The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks. DIMENSIONS: Each cufflink measures 1-1/8” x 1/2”. WEIGHT: Each cufflink weighs approximately 8.6 grams. CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition, definitely collector quality, including fully functional, sterling silver swivel findings. |
