Sterling Silver, Turquoise & Moonstone Brooch

A signed Southwest or Mexican silversmith piece — heavy hand-fabricated sterling with a sacred heart form, twisted rope bezels, and a multi-stone crown cluster of moonstone and onyx over a turquoise heart.

• Maker's hallmark stamp on reverse — signature confirmed, silversmith unidentified; adds provenance weight to a clearly skilled hand
• Central heart-shaped green turquoise cabochon set in double twisted rope-style bezel — labour-intensive fabrication technique consistent with Southwest or Taxco workshop tradition
• Crown cluster of six small accent cabochons — translucent moonstone and black onyx — each individually set in matching twisted rope bezels flanking applied wing or leaf motifs
• Solid flat sterling silver backing, fully fabricated — not cast; construction consistent with mid-to-late 20th century handcrafted production
• Substantial at 31g — talismanic weight you feel on the lapel
