A unique pair of very large Mexican "Mosaico Azteca" sterling silver cufflinks. Possibly made by Los Castillo studio's. The studio developed this inlay of turquoise, malachite and chrysoprase which they named Mosaico Azteca and these cufflinks are a great example of this technique.
Circa 1950 and inspired by the ancient world the faces of the cufflinks are inlaid in the stone mosaic that is accented in pre-columbian style motifs in silver overlay. They have large heavy duty hinged toggle posts at the back.
The faces measure 1-1/4" (3cm) diameter and the cufflinks have a combined weight of 16 grams. They are in very good vintage condition with minor surface wear and light scratches mainly to the back. The hinged posts are in perfect working order. They are stamped with silver hallmarks on the reverse and '925' on the posts so they are sterling throughout. One is stamped 'Hecho Mexico DF' (made in the federal district of Mexico City'), '925' and makers mark 'DH'. The other is simply stamped 'sterling mexico'.
Bound to catch the eye these statement sized cufflinks are bold, unique and very collectible!
