Easy to wear, very comfortable Los Castillo Mozaico Azteca bracelet. I love the way the curved links hug the wrist and, of course, the beauty of the colors in the stone inlay. The bracelet measures a wearable 6 3/4" long (clasped) and it is 11/16" wide (at its widest). It weighs 70.1 grams and is signed with the taller's name, "MOZAICO AZTECA" and des. no 230 alongside a badly stamped Eagle 15 assay mark and "STERLING MADE IN MEXICO"...

One of the best designs in early Mexican repousse work, the "feathers" makes for divine necklaces because of the gracious way the two halves of the piece meet at the center front - just take a look at the beauty of the swirls and twists and the playful, flirty way they touch yet at the same time "turn the back" on each other... I have had pieces in this design before - actually even a parure with Villasana's signature on it (I do believe that it's based on an early Los Castillo design possib...

A very intriguing combination pin/pendant necklace wrought in 980 silver and adorned with scrumptious amethysts and pearls. The design reminds me of Margot's hand but it's signed by a maker who, though listed, remains unidentified. Anonymity or not though, this is a spectacular, substantial piece and you can wear it either as a necklace or dis-attach the pendant to enjoy it as a brooch. Measuring 23 5/8" long (wearable) the chain enjoys the pendant's additional 3 5/8" drop...

Black niello-like enamel is the highlight of this intricately decorated Victorian bracelet. Textured gold and a floral pattern accented with the black enamel, all characteristic of the period, cover both sides of the hinged bangle. It measures 3/4 inch wide and fits snugly on a standard 7 inch wrist, making it the perfect accent for a slender arm.

Based on Matilde Poulat's "Paloma" design, the necklace at hand is only hallmarked with Eagle 1 assay mark, which was also used by Matl herself. Its quality and workmanship as you can see is such that justifies the assumption that it might easily have come out of the big maestra's workshop - the repousse dove is carefully rendered; the stones are beautiful and tightly set; and the silver work bespeaks the time and effort the necklace's maker put into crafting it...
