Vintage Retro Los Castillo Cloak Holder/Brooch

About the Item

An unusual creation of Los Castillo from c. 1940's is the cloak holder or pair of brooches made by the hand of the noted Mexican jeweler. It is one of his rare items and unusual to find the two parts. The pair is a satiny sterling silver. They can be worn on a jacket or dress, or clipped together to hold your shawl or cloak. The detail is crisp. As they are rarely seen today, these dramatic pieces are eye catching. No reason they cannot be worn clipped together at the neckline of a dress or shirt. The offering is in excellent condition. No signs of age or wear other than a bit of tarnish in hard to reach places. An unusual gift for a person with their own unique sense of style. Length 4 3/4 inches each. Weight 12.8 gr

Antique Victorian Serpentine Scottish Agate Brooch
Located in Stamford, CT
Undulating swirls of agate in mellow colors are cut and polished, then set in silver. Texture and softness were created by the jeweler with his choice of patterned agates as well as his ability to sculpt the stone. The pink agates are not frequently seen in scottish 19th century jewelry. Here they beautifully punctuate the horizontal plane. All of the workmanship was performed by hand Scottish jewelry, as well as Scottish tradition, were brought to the forefront during the second half of the 19th century because Queen Victorian and Prince Albert were deeply involved with and romanced Scottish tradition. At their privately owned castle Balmoral they dressed in Scottish clothing and wore Scottish jewelry. Their dedication brought Scottish agate...
