Cosmopolitan Federico Jimenez-Old Stock/Superb Quality-Unique Designed Mediterranean Red Coral Cluster Earrings-
"EACH DAY IS VALENTINE'S DAY"
Displaying nothing less than a upscale, high end cosmopolitan vibe, these are some amazing fine coral earrings, with an amazing design! And if New York's 5th Ave.or Neiman's carried southwestern jewelry, these then would be something you would see there! They are THAT classy & extremely sweet lookin' earrings!!!
Made with with optimal quality coral, this design is so refreshing for the fact that they're not your standard (and overly produced) everyday cluster earring, but different & stands out from the rest, because of it! If you zoom in on the photos, you'll notice what's different with these compared to others is that instead of placing the pear cuts with the point going up, these are laid where the point of the cut goes down & faces out.I personally believe this adds to the design.
The coral is a "red-red" color, that is neither on the red/blue side, nor the orange/red side. They are pure red! The pear cuts are very clean and I am not seeing any inherit markings that are generally seen with coral. Because each cut is precisely hand picked for their color & uniform size, gives these their well balanced look. They are 1/8" short of being as wide, as they are long.
Because of the amount of sterling in these, they do have a bit of weight, so please go over the weights below before purchasing.. Questions? Just email me!
These are 'One of a Kind" earrings where there was only ONE pair made & can only be found here at Plata de Santa Fe Jewelry!
These earrings can pair well with any southwestern Coral collection & because of their non-traditional/ contemporary look, these can be worn in or out of the southwest, without feeling like you have to pile on all your southwestern pieces!
***FYI***:
Anyone person whose closely involved in this business knows how much the price of Coral has climbed to & has gotten so ridiculously expensive, which makes it unaffordable for many artists to even consider buying. In the last few years, the cost of "GOOD" Coral has skyrocketed up to 500% & compared to a few years ago when it was at about $250 a gram,it is now over $1000 a gram for the premium qualities. Coral is now on the "Rare" list & no longer can it be fished, nor brought in the USA. (These reasons are reflected in the price) Everyday the price goes up & the less availability, the higher the price will go! Coral has become a collectible material for these reasons mentioned.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my hardest at giving you an accurate color. Warmer toned pieces can come up much more vibrant & heavily saturated, so please take this into consideration & go through all photos to see any variation in color..
To give you close up photos that show all the detail, pictures can tend to look much more larger & much more more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big these are,please either check them out being worn to get a rough idea (photo 2 & 9) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
