Los Castillo mozaico Azteca Mexican silver modernist Ring
Matching the highly geometric cuff bracelet that is also available on the site, this vintage Los Castillo Mexican silver modernist ring still cherishes the austere angularity of the Deco years. Set in channels defined by sterling wires, the saturated blues and greens of the azur-malachite inlay clearly mark it as belonging to the workshop's "mozaico Azteca" line. Its strong geometry notwithstanding, the ring is easy to wear since the shank curves as it progress towards the back providing a smooth transition from bold angle to soft semi-circle. Combine it with the cuff and you will never regret it...
Size / Weight: sz 7.5 US (not sure if it could be resized and how much because of the inlay); face is 7/8" E-W and 3/8" N-S; 10.1 grams
Hallmarks / Date: fully signed with workshop's and line's name as shown as well as "STERLING MADE IN MEXICO" alongside Eagle 15 assay mark and des. no 215; 1950s-70s
Condition: excellent vintage with its inlay all present, saturated in color, having great patina and no damage or repairs noted
