Powerful, sophisticated & super sexy on, these have such a serious presence to them that will definitely capture anyone's attention!

Made with an authentic Santa Fe'an aesthetic, these statement size hoop earrings are made with naturally formed-non calibrated, tumbled Kingman turquoise nuggets, with accents of chunky size Spiny Oyster shell. The Kingman has lots of quartz matrix in them & because of the quartz, some cuts look to have 'chips', but is actually inherit to the stone itself. The large 2-3/4" round hoop hangs from a cross design top.

They have a GENEROUS amount of both stone & sterling, so making these into a post earring was totally out of the question!!These weigh more than some necklaces & or even cuffs I have in stock, so making them in a clip on, was the smartest way to go!

PLEASE READ: I do want to mention though, that because of the generous portions of both the materials & sterling, Federico’s clips on’s can sometimes want to slip, because of the weight. My personal remedy for fixing this, is to take “Flexible clear surgical tape (I prefer Nexcare 3M ) & rip a somewhat small piece & then roll it so it becomes ‘double sided’.. This will then stick on the back of the earring & against your ear. (You don’t want to cut any bigger than the back of the earrings top) Stick that on the backside of the top & the earrings now are secure & won’t want to fall off the ear! I do this with earrings that are weighty or if the clip has loosened. (See weights below)

PLEASE READE 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,just so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the piece. Realize however that all monitors are different, so the materials can look brighter (or duller) from one computer to the next. If you need more photos, in different areas of lighting, 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 ) or if you have one, you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
