{"product_id":"mexico-vintage-cdc-td-27-950-silver-fish-pin-brooch-with-inlaid-turquoise","title":"Mexico Vintage CDC TD 27 950 Silver Fish Pin Brooch with Inlaid Turquoise","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis charming vintage Mexican brooch takes the playful form of a leaping fish, rendered in 950 silver—a higher purity than standard sterling—and marked with the \"CDC\" maker's signature and \"TD-27\" workshop designation typical of Taxco production. The design captures the fish mid-arc, its body curving in a fluid, dynamic S-shape that conveys a sense of motion and life. The silversmith has stylized the creature with elegant economy: a pointed, open-mouthed head with a slightly parted jaw, a small drilled eye, and a sweeping curved body that terminates in a forked tail. The piece is brought to life with inlaid turquoise, set into the dorsal fin and the tail in a vibrant robin's-egg blue. The turquoise shows natural matrix veining and a smooth polished surface, channel-set flush within raised silver borders that define each fin's outline crisply. The contrast between the cool blue stone and the warm, softly tarnished silver is visually arresting and characteristic of the Southwestern and Mexican aesthetic. The silver displays an aged patina with darkened recesses and gentle surface wear, lending depth and authenticity to the design. On the reverse, a functional pin stem and clasp allow secure wear on a lapel, scarf, or jacket. Craftsmanship is confident and clean, with smoothly finished edges and well-fitted stone settings. This brooch would delight collectors of figural Mexican silver, turquoise enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to whimsical animal motifs with mid-century flair. Its modest scale makes it versatile and easy to style, while the higher-grade 950 silver and signed marks add collectible value. Condition is very good, with the stones intact, no losses noted, and the pin mechanism in working order. A delightful and characterful piece, this fish brooch combines folk-art charm with genuine craftsmanship, offering an affordable entry into collectible signed Mexican silver jewelry with enduring decorative appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Silverware","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55225656869155,"sku":"mexico-vintage-cdc-td-27-950-silver-fish-pin-brooch-with-inlaid-turquoise","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/mexico-vintage-cdc-td-27-950-silver-fish-pin-brooch-with-inlaid-turquoise_01.jpg?v=1781301284","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/mexico-vintage-cdc-td-27-950-silver-fish-pin-brooch-with-inlaid-turquoise","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
