About the Item

Rare piece from Los Castillo, they are all artisan jewelers but their creative nature alludes to this type of piece, a combination of cocobolo wood (the same one that Don Shoemaker used) with obcidian stone and abalone in the eyes. At the bottom there is its bronze seal that says: Los Castillo México. Without a doubt a beautiful piece of Mexican modernism
