Federico Jimenez-17 Free Form Cuts-Nevada Turquoise "Sampler" Sterling Necklace-19"
This necklace is a signature style known to Federico, where he'll take various non-calibrated "Free Form" sized stones that are on hand, but makes them work, based on the character of each cut & with this one, it's more about the state in which they come from & all the matrix they have! Called a "Sampler" necklace for obvious reasons, these rocks come from various Nevada mines & being these mines produce different colors, with some producing bright vibrant blues, some producing teal blues, some producing greens with earthy brown matrix, while others produce black matrix, contributes to the amazing contrast this has throughout! It's like a 'mosaic medley' of colors! This is the beauty of “Sampler” turquoise pieces is the fact that you get a little of this & a little of that, without being matchy-matchy perfect!
There are 17 chunky sized untreated cuts used for this, with most of the cuts coming from the old Blue Gem mine, Pilot Mountain & the Royston mine.. Each of these cuts are on the 'generous' side & are not skimpy at all..Each bezel set cut is connected by “O” rings for movement and allows it to fold easy for travel. The necklace is finalized with a short 2 link extender chain per side.
