    Hi guys,
    The only thing I can think of is brutalist and I don’t think they really are. Please help me with keywords and thank you

    i’m with you. Agree neomedieval. It’s a heater shield. They’re great. Definitely not brutalist which is a modernist movement. Maybe aegic or heraldic just to throw some more words in there.

    You could also use 'Historic Revival'.
    The decoration reminds me a bit of the 7th century Dutch 'Domburgfibula':

    Yay!! I knew brutalist was wrong but got that word stuck in my brain and I couldn’t come up with anything else.

    thank you all for the help. Have a great rest of your week

    I spent some time this morning looking at IXEL jewelry all over the internet. Everyone seems to know it's made in Mexico, but there is no other information or history about the company. People are guessing the company started in 1947 but I can find no information about that. Most people are guessing the ages of the jewelry 1940s through 1980s.

    I saw two or three pieces with original foil label stickers that said Hecho en Mexico. There are two different types of stickers, one is red and one is blue.
