Vintage Los Ballesteros Sterling Silver & Chatoyant Obsidian Aztec Warrior Necklace

Vintage Los Ballesteros statement necklace crafted in sterling silver and featuring a striking chatoyant obsidian cabochon carved in the form of an Aztec warrior face. The dramatic pendant is surrounded by bold, sculptural silver elements inspired by Pre-Columbian and mid-century Mexican modernist design, giving the piece strong visual impact and cultural character.

The pendant measures approximately 3.7 inches long by 3 inches wide and hangs from a substantial 22-inch sterling silver chain with a hook-style clasp. The obsidian displays a subtle chatoyance, catching the light across its dark surface and enhancing the depth of the carved facial features. The back of the pendant is clearly marked Los Ballesteros, Sterling, and Hecho en Mexico, confirming its authenticity and origin.

Produced in Mexico during the mid-20th century, this necklace is a fine example of Los Ballesteros’ celebrated craftsmanship and their fusion of indigenous motifs with modernist silverwork.

Condition: Good vintage condition overall, with light surface scratches and minor wear consistent with age and use. The stone is secure, the carving remains crisp, and the silver retains a pleasing patina (see photos for details).
