These are designed with Federico’s signature look that will sure be a guarantee turning heads & wow’s given by many! They are made with the most vibrant blue turquoise imaginable & are from the Arizona Sleeping Beauty mine that happened to close some years back & have only become more valuable since then.No other mine seems to give the vibrancy that this mine produces!

With these,it’s not only their nice chunky larger size that makes them have so much appeal,but it’s all these perfectly matched tear drop cabochons that have to match perfect,otherwise their circular form is thrown off! Inside the outer hoop s a non-movable cross that sits in the interior & is filled with turquoise baguettes that are from the late Larry Cooley collection of vintage mined stones. The hoop faces forward & is anchored by a rectangular shape cluster top of round cabochons with a baguette center.

With so much of today’s turquoise being treated,these come natural without enhancement.These are not your ‘average,touristy’style earrings that you can find everywhere for much less!They have top notch stones which adds to their pristine value!

Federico never skimps on materials & is known for giving generous amounts of stone,as well as sterling,so it is good that these are clips,since they are quite heavy! They are just short as being wide as they are long.

They have a urban SW sophistication & are beyond sexy & classy!!! They have weight to them,so it’s good they are clips!

~An example as to what dictates prices in jewelry.~

Turquoise is priced on few things…whether the turquoise is natural or treated,with natural being more valuable per carat than treated.Then you look at price per carat for what the turquoise goes for,then how many carats are used & whether they can be replaced & lastly,the designer whose name is on them.
