...stupefying...
Description:One of the best Los Castillo silver and azur malachite necklaces I have ever had, this piece is simply stupefying! A rare,exquisite \"Mosaico Azteca\"example, it combines carved and inlaid stone with hand-wrought beads in graduated sizes andhas a wonderful inlaid clasp as well.I could never exaggerate the smooth curves of the gorgeous \"mask\" with the pointy ears - betraying an Asian influence maybe? -, the rich colors in the stone inlay, the patina of the hand-made silver beads. Possibly one-of-a-kind...
Size / Weight:18 3/4\" long (wearable); mask adds a 2 1/4\" drop (including the dangle earrings) and it\'s 1 1/2\" wide (at its widest); diameter of beads between 1/2\" and 3/8\"; 92.3 gramsHallmarks/Date: \"LOS CASTILLO TAXCO\" and \"MOZAICO AZTECA\" alongside Eagle 15 assay mark; 1950s-60s
Condition: very good vintage with gorgeous color in the stone inlay, great patina and a sublimely carved mask; there are a couple of small impressions in the beads as well as three or four very small pops in the stone inlay of the tubular elements but neither is offensive nor readily catching the eye; please be advised that the necklace came to me with its original chain broken and a piece of it missing so I had it professionally replaced with a length of vintage sterling silver chainThank you very much for your interest -please take a look atmyother itemsand make sure you add me to yourfavorites list!

Kindly note that Free Shipping offers are valid for domestic sales only!
USA Buyers:I offer FREE First Class shipping on my items alongside Priority Mail as well an Express service for those of you who need to get something really fast - the fees for these last two options being the responsibility of the buyer.
I ship items usually on the same or first business day following Paypal payment notification. I always notify of shipping dates so please look out for those emails. All packages are insured for their value and this service is free of cost to the buyer.International buyers:Please make sure your country allows you to receive jewelry from overseas via the mail or ask me so I can check it for you. Though I support international sales, I will not risk shipping anything to a country that has jewelry on its RESTRICTED / PROHIBITED ITEMS LIST. If this is your case, I will have to cancel your purchase and if you have already paid for it, revise your Paypal payment. I apologize in advance but I have learned the bitter way that this rule has to be followed. Thank you for understanding!
SALES TAX:Last but unfortunately not least, NY State residents will have to pay sales tax in addition to shipping and insurance fees. If you are a dealer and thus tax exempt, you will still need to pay the tax initially yet it will be returned to you as soon as I have received a properly filled out New York State Resale Certificate. I will include a copy of the document in a SAS envelope with your package so you can fill it out and drop it in the mail for me without any extra work on your part.
Once it arrives to me, I will refund you the sales tax amount via PAYPAL.Thanks in advance for your co-operation!
