Chevron Link Necklace

Design 480 is a Los Castillo sterling link necklace built around repeated chevron panels and raised silver ball accents. The auction description records the necklace as stamped Los Castillo, Taxco, Sterling, Made in Mexico, and 480, which gives this page an object-specific design number rather than a generic link-necklace identification.

The necklace belongs to the workshop's early production language: bold, modular sterling links, a clean collar scale, and surface patterning made by incised geometry instead of stones. The stated dimensions, 17.25 inches long by 0.875 inches high, and the recorded 154.8 gram weight match the visual character of a heavy Los Castillo collar.

As a catalog object, design 480 documents a distinct Los Castillo answer to the link necklace: not a pendant chain, but a collar built from repeated structural modules. The pattern, weight, and visible mark evidence make it a useful reference point for the workshop's numbered designs.
