Federico Jimenez-Traditional Oaxaca-Santa Fe Style-"Amor Eterno-Palomas Enamoradas"-Spiny Oyster Filigree Earrings 3-5/8" of Love!
A PERSONAL WORD:
When Federico came to the USA from his birthplace of Oaxaca in the 1960's,it wasn't till the 1970's however, that he got a 'calling' to show his phenomenal collection at the LA flea Market, where he brought with him the intricately made-romantic Oaxaca jewelry that is a "signature style' to his birthplace so it could be presented to a much wider audience.. He also brought with him all his vintage Native jewelry that he had been collecting for decades. At that time, CHER happened to be one of his 1st major customers which was at the time when Cher was flaunting some of the best Native pieces during the 70's... As Federico's popularity grew, so did his "Elite" celebrity base, who to this day,are still thirsty for anything that bares his name. Oaxaca jewelry is finally being appreciated as a historical cultural art form, with much of the credit going to him...Oaxaca jewelry has become so chic & fashionable to wear & no longer are women only wearing these traditional Oaxaca styles when wearing their Mexican textile clothing, but rather you'll find women wearing these in major cities with a variety of various style wardrobes!

Please Note:
*****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 piece. I find photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (orange, green) can come up a little more vivid than other colors,so please take this into consideration.
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 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) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
