AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A distinctive vintage brooch/pin pendant by the Mexican maker Cartelan, crafted in 925 sterling silver and decorated with colorful enamel.

The design has a pronounced geometric character. The central part consists of a blue-black speckled enamel surface with a silver-colored, stepped geometric motif.

Around it runs a decorative edge with green enamel. On either side, small silver details extend beyond the circular shape.

At the bottom hang four movable silver drop-shaped elements, adding extra movement when worn.

The reverse features both a brooch clasp and a bail, allowing the piece to be worn in two ways. The brooch clasp has a somewhat unusual mechanism, but functions well.

On the reverse, the piece is stamped CARTELAN – 925 – MEX – STERLING.

One of the four hanging elements shows a localized irregularity that presumably arose during soldering. This does not appear to be later damage. The enamel itself has been well preserved and the jewelry is otherwise in very good vintage condition.

Seller's Story

I am Melanie, a graduate goldsmith with a specialization in vintage and antique jewelry. My love for jewelry has been with me since childhood: weekends I spent at markets and fairs, fascinated by the craftsmanship and the stories behind each piece. After completing my training as a goldsmith, I combined my technical knowledge with my passion for heritage in my company Feniks. There I focus on jewelry with character — carefully selected pieces in gold and silver, that exude quality, craftsmanship and originality. Each piece of jewelry is checked for authenticity and stands for sustainable beauty: timeless, not trend-bound, and with respect for the craft.
