FEDERICO JIMENEZ - Big / Bold / Statement Size - Channel Set Amethyst - Sterling Beaded Open / Close Bangle Bracelet- Over 7 Ounces!
Recreating a 1930's design known to Fred Davis,Federico pays homage to this legendary man,by keeping one of Davis's most exquisitely designed bracelets alive.
Carrying one of the wider collections of Federico's,I have to admit,this is one of the most finely crafted bracelets I think I've had of his! It is not only impressively made,but superbly bold in design & has a weight that matches! (7 ounces!) The weight is something you will immediately notice,since it is SO heavy! It is quite obvious that only the highest of skilled jewelers had to make it.You definitely have to have some years in,to make a piece like this that is so architecturally perfect!
It is made of 5 rows that dictate it's statement size 1-5/8" width,with each row laying atop of a oxidized heavy gauge sterling sheet.The middle 3 rows are actually lifted & sit on 'raisers',with the amethyst row being at it's highest & then like a hill,going 'down' to where the perimeter beads are directly soldered atop of the base.(see photos 13,14,15)
The amethyst oval cuts are channel set & all sit tightly together in one solid crimped bezel.The beads are all hand made & soldered together & have almost a garland feel that joins them.The beads are uniform in size which adds to it's pristine look.
It is made in a bangle style that consists of 2-4" sections from the hinge to the closure that equal a 8" diameter..It can either slip over the hand (If your Small to Small-Medium boned) or if your medium to big boned,you can use the clasp that opens with a push in/pull out tongue clasp.
Its pieces like this, that put Federico's jewelry in high demand! Its,sophisticated,it's classy & ultra gorgeous on the wrist & will definitely make a statement!
** If you zoom in on the last photo,you'll see another in this same style that is listed & is made with 'real' Australian Opals!" (Not the 'man made'Opals that sellers call "Opals")
