The body is formed by a slender, leaf-shaped pointed oval — a marquise-like silhouette — that tapers at both ends, while two crossing silver wires sweep outward to suggest the flowing tail of the fish. The simplicity of the outline is offset by a richly colored stone mosaic inlaid across the body, a vibrant patchwork of deep lapis-blue and verdant green tones blended with flecks of natural matrix. The blue and green inlay reads as azurite-malachite paired with lapis lazuli, its irregular natural banding and color transitions giving each section organic depth; the polished stone surface catches the light against the warm silver bezel that frames it. The craftsmanship is clean and confident: a smooth sterling channel surrounds the stonework, the inlay sits flush and well-fitted, and the trailing tail wires are soldered with a sure hand to create the iconic fish form. Hallmarked as Mexican Taxco silver, the brooch carries the understated sophistication that collectors associate with the region's better studios. On the reverse, a standard pin-and-clasp fitting allows secure wear on a lapel, scarf, or jacket. Condition appears very good, with the silver showing a gentle vintage patina and the stone inlay retaining strong color and a clean surface, with only minor honest wear. Both spiritually meaningful and artfully modern, this brooch appeals to lovers of symbolic jewelry, collectors of vintage Mexican silver and stone inlay, and anyone drawn to a refined, sculptural accent piece. Its compact, graphic form makes it a versatile and quietly distinctive everyday treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Silverware","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55225658245411,"sku":"mexico-vintage-taxco-sterling-silver-ichthys-fish-brooch-pin-with-lapis-lazuli","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/mexico-vintage-taxco-sterling-silver-ichthys-fish-brooch-pin-with-lapis-lazuli_01.jpg?v=1781301385","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/mexico-vintage-taxco-sterling-silver-ichthys-fish-brooch-pin-with-lapis-lazuli","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
