FIRM ON PRICE
Oozing a look as if they stepped out of Santa Fe’s past, these top of the line turquoise earrings may be on the smaller side, but pack a strong punch when it comes to their quality!! Getting harder & harder to find anymore, all these cuts came from the late Larry Cooley’s collection ..For those of you that follow me, know the collection he had and also are aware of how he was an artists “vendor of choice” when they were hunting down the highest quality turquoise to put in their own designs. His turquoise was mined decades ago, when natural turquoise was more available & had the highest grades that didn’t need to be stabilized. When Larry passed, his whole collection was up for grabs, but because of Federico’s long time standing with him & his family, the family then sold it all to Federico, but it didn’t come without paying a top dollar price.(This quality is reflected in the price)
These are an earring for the turquoise connoisseur who will not settle for anything less than the best! So if quality is at the top of your buying list that overrides the size, then these are a no brainer. These are super wearable in weight, while giving you that true Up Scale Santa Fe’an look!
Artist name & recognition, turquoise quality, cost per carat for this quality, amount of carats, turquoise availability, sterling cost & artists time are all reflected in price.
These are designed with quality cuts of turquoise that once belonged to the late Larry Cooley & anything made with Cooley turquoise will also demand a higher price due to rarity & availability.
We carry many pieces that are made with Larry's turquoise (earrings,necklaces and rings)So go through all these categories and you can either click on his name or click on Federico's name!

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color, just so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the earrings Please know that all screen monitors are different, so the materials can look brighter (or duller) ,more intense or less intense from one computer/phone to the next.
In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail,can tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified & exaggerated than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked to see how much smaller the item is 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 (photos 2 & 8) or you can pull out a tape measure or ruler if you have one & then & compare that to my given measurements above
