Los Castillo Mexican silver and copper chevron Brooch

Beautifully aged sterling silver and warmly glowing copper combine effortlessly in this Los Castillo chevron brooch. I am very partial to the mixed metals jewelry that came out of Taxco and the renowned workshop excelled in their production. This specific piece with its arrow shape I find very interesting visually - just note the way the curves of the silver beads are juxtaposed to the intense forcefulness of the angular motifs...

PS: The matching ring is also available in my store - you can see it here together with the brooch
but, please, look for it in a separate listing
