Fun sterling silver fish charm is a fine example of "metales casados" and is a unique blend of sterling silver with gold, copper, and enamel highlights that reflects high quality craftsmanship and a super design. The colors make it much more interesting and realistic than sterling silver alone, and the overall effect is one of added realism for the piece that really draws the eye. The tropical fish is also a very interesting shape, and it has a small hole on the upper fin ready for your favorite chain to make it into one of your most interesting accessories. Marriage of Metal or "metales casados" is an ancient Mexican metal technique which dates back to at least 2500 B.C. It is known to have been used in the Olmeca, Monte Alban and Zapoteca cultures and most certainly by the Mayans. It is a way of combining two or more different matals; silver, brass, copper and other metals in designs. Pieces made with this method are each truly one of a kind. It comes to Collectics through a Bristol, TN estate collection and is in excellent condition, measuring approximately 2.5" high and 2.0" wide. It's well marked on the back "TU-06", "Mexico", and "Metales Casados".     $65.00
