FEDERICO JIMENEZ-Natural BISBEE Turquoise-2 Stone Drop Sterling Earrings-1-3/4" Very Wearable! (From Larry Cooley's Turquoise Collection!)
THE TURQUOISE:
Bisbee turquoise has always been one of the #1 choice's for the turquoise connoisseur & for good reason.. Known for it's distinct blue color & signature chocolate color matrix,this mine ranks high as far as 'hardness' in turquoise, which means it doesn't need to stabilized in order for the lapidarian to cut it.
THE EARRINGS:
Sometimes all it takes to showcase some great looking stones properly, is to put them in a plain simple bezel & let them speak for themselves. Absolutely no fancy sterling work is needed here, nor stamped appliques, no sterling beaded accents nor twisted wire. A bezel & some amazing looking stones is all it takes!
They are made in a 'mirrored' style,where there's an actual 'right/left side & are to be worn like they're shown in the photos.(See top cuts) No, these are not 'over the top' in weight or size, but rather are in a size where their ‘quality’ overrides the ‘quantity”. You can take these from day to night, dressed them up OR down, they are THAT versatile!!
A NOTE:
******You are paying for the turquoise in these! Reflected also in the price: is the artist, the turquoise provenance where the stones came from, turquoise quality, cost per carat for this quality, amount of carats, sterling cost & artists time to make**Anything made with turquoise from Larry Cooley's turquoise collection will always come with a higher price tag,due to the quality & limited supply***(To learn about the collection Larry had,as well as a bit about him, please click on his name when you’re in just about every category throughout the website!)

*********************************
PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try my hardest to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color as much as I can. I do however, find this particular blue harder to photograph since I don't want them to come across too vibrant, nor too dull. Each monitor varies and also plays a role in how vibrant or less vibrant as something appears. If you need more photos,please let me know!
To give you close up photos,pictures tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. 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 and 8) ) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements above.
