Paying homage to Mexico City's legendary artist "Fred Davis", Federico pays his respect to one of Davis's most exquisitely designed bracelets, but instead of using Amethyst that was original to Davis’s design, this one is made with the beauty of all sterling! And personally, there's nothing more beautiful than when the beauty of all sterling stands alone!

Its sophisticated & super bold pieces like this that have put Federico's jewelry in high demand to where buyers are thirsty for anything with the "JF" hallmark! Known for pushing the limits when it comes to size & weight, this is one seriously sized bangle & has a weight that's equally generous and impressive being it weighs just under 1/2pound! (7.29 OUNCES!) The weight is something you will immediately notice, since it is that heavy & solid! It's also probably one of the best bangles that may be on the market in precious metal!

Architecturally crafted, this is an impressive design & it's quite obvious that only one of his most skilled staff jewelers had to make it. You definitely have to have some years in to make a piece like this that is so architecturally correct!

Dictating it's whopping 1-5/8" width, are 5 rows of sterling beads where each row lay atop of a oxidized heavy gauge sterling sheet. The middle 3 rows are actually lifted & sit on 'bar like raisers', with the biggest bead row(center) being at it's highest & then like a hill, the design levels to where the perimeter beads are directly soldered atop of the base.(see photo 7)

Just like Navajo Pearls are made, these beads too are all hand made where they have almost a garland feel to them. The beads are uniform in size per row, which adds to it's pristine look. It is made in a bangle style that consists of 2 sections with a hinge separating the 2. Each section is about 4" from the hinge to the closure & the 2 sections together equal slightly under 8" diameter when closed, so your wrist must be UNDER this circumference. 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. This is however made for a medium to a larger sized wrist & the larger the wrist, the more it will stay at the wrist area. I have about a 5" wrist & it does fall to the top of my hand, but does not slip off!

SIZING:

**To see if this will properly fit, I suggest you take a bangle that fits you well & measure it by laying it on top of a paper measuring tape & starting on say the 1" line, you will then see where it measures from & to (east to west) The 'interior' part is what you want to pay attention to, NOT the outer most part,since the raised beads will give an inaccurate reading.. Then compare it to my **'Interior across measurement'**.

Imagine adding this beauty when you're doing a day of all sterling & especially a very classy contemporary collection! Would also make a great addition to a contemporary style Navajo Pearl necklace collection! It is definitely meant TO impress!!
