I bought this at a thrift store in San Diego about 10 yrs ago - marked Mexico silver on the back. Maybe 1960's or 70's? Would appreciate any comments or info. The links and closure are handmade and soldered. It's not a cheap piece - very well made. Length 15.5" and sits right under my collarbone. Center focal motif is 1.25" to give you an idea of scale, silver teardrops are 5/8" long and the other squares graduate smaller to .75" at back so it is a statement piece - but not gaudy.
I know it isn't old old and would appreciate any comments - I haven't seen another like this since I bought it 10 years ago.
Stunning...love it!
Thank you Lee! It looks good w/my 1950's sequin circle skirt.

Thank you Lee - what a gorgeous Nestor Castillo necklace!
Mine is the imitation and I know many were made. Your Castillo is stunning!

Hi Rose thank you - can you guess what I collect most of? Yes...jewelry! Yes Aztec motif.
Thank you Sean as always for loving my obsessions.
Hi Lee - yes I thought so Rubylane and the store's website - so gorgeous! LOL and XO too.
Love that Mexican Taxco silver jewellery! It must weight a ton :)
I really like it & you can tell not cheap I also bet it sits well around the neck cheap ones usually don't good find
Thank you Nadia, Newtimes, mikelv85, nldionne, MJ, toolate2, bratjdd for your love!
Thank you BelleEpoque and Zowie and everyone else: it is probably a 60's or 70's remake. It isn't heavy. The plaques are maybe 2mm? thick at most- so is lightweight but yes you're right Zowie - this is a very nice necklace. It isn't cheap but not as fabulous as the Nester Castillo.
Thank you Phil and Lisa for your love.
It isn't something I could wear but I do love the style
Thank you Woman34 for your love.
It still has a Aztec look to me but like most things I could be barking up the wrong tree nothing new just somewhere to start.
I agree definitely Aztec feel. Thanks for checking in again!
I'm always around just not always up to doing the things I want
Zowie I know the feeling.
