FEDERICO JIMENEZ- Whimsical- Wearable Art -Hand Mosaic Inlaid- Turquoise "THUNDERBIRD" 925 Earrings- 2 Ear Choices!- Choose from Clips Or Posts!
2 EAR STYLE CHOICES-CHOOSE FROM CLIP OR POSTS!!
A SAD NOTE:
These were artistically made by the hands of one of Federico's 'on staff' artisans who Federico would call on when he wanted Pueblo style Mosaic inlay work that then would bare his name. Except for these 2 pairs, I am saddened to say that at the moment,there will be no more of this design by this artist,since we lost him from Covid..He was literally an incredible artist that Federico was lucky to have & the art he made will be missed!
******************
DESCRIPTION:
These are a design that were Zuni Pueblo inspired during the Fred Harvey period. They are designed in a medallion style earring, that are made with free form,irregular shaped cuts that give a whimsical look to the mighty "THUNDERBIRD" whose the signature bird of the southwest!
All the stones that make up the bird,are all hand cut & then placed in a mosaic inlay style that then lay flush within the black onyx background. The body & wings are of vibrant blue,Sleeping Beauty turquoise,the face is a shimmery mother of pearl,the bottom is spiny oyster shell. The art sits in it's own bezel with a twisted wire perimeter & will be fun & easy to wear!!!
These are "Mirrored", meaning there is a actual right & left side to how they are worn on the ear,with the Thunderbird facing toward the face’
**What appears to look like a 'crack' in one of the clip earrings is not,it was the way they were mosaic'd**
