THE NECKLACE:

Tipping the Richter scale to unimaginable heights with it's MASSIVELY HUGE size,but yet at the same time, having a serious Santa Fe'an elegance, this "One of a Kind" monstrous & enormously sized necklace has Federico's name plastered all over it! It's very signature Federico, whose known for pushing jewelry size to new heights & is not known for "Dainty". jewelry.(He leaves that to others!) In fact, he's about the only artist I work with, whose not afraid to take jewelry to levels we just never see (or will see) & it's pieces of this colossal magnitude that have him reigning at the top in the industry when we're looking for a seriously sized statement piece!

I really don't even know where to begin with the magnitude of this necklace, since everything about it leaves me speechless & all of it's attributes equal in caliber!

Each & everything thing about this necklace is on the extremely GENEROUS side, from the size of each cut of turquoise, to the size of the pearls (where both dictate the size & shape of each panel) to the massive amount of sterling it's made with! It's these that contribute to it’s 1 Pound-11 Oz. weight. (27 Oz)

All the turquoise in this comes from "Larry Cooley's turquoise collection & what Larry was known for, was having the FINEST collection of turquoise that were all mined long before they started treating turquoise & kept on hand, nothing BUT top notch-gem quality NATURAL turquoise. When Larry passed some years back, everyone wanted dibs on buying his whole collection, but because of Federico's connection to Larry, Larry's family offered Federico his AMAZING collection.. Yes it was over the top in price, but worth every dollar & some of Federico's most beautifully designed pieces have Larry's turquoise.(This quality & size are dictated in the price) I have had & do carry many pieces of Federico’s with Larry’s turquoise. (In the earring categories, necklaces, rings, etc.) You can either go through the categories and click on his name or by putting Larry's name in the search bar on the front page of the website where some of many that are listed will come up!

It is made with a 'sampler' selection that comes from 3 Nevada mines, which are green Royston, rare teal color Blue Gem & Pilot Mountain turquoise. Each cut holds some serious carat weight since each cut is literally huge & goes for top dollar per carat (that is, if you can find this quality & size)

Each cut is then framed by a halo cluster of the most beautiful white baroque pearls that come in their natural form, so each vary in shape. These are what give it it's feminine aesthetic. The material is bezel set atop of heavy gauge sterling & has a contemporary finishing.

This is Texas/Santa Fe huge & is a true 'Showstopper/Runway" necklace, where it's a sure guarantee that all the attention & the spotlight will be on you & will only let others know how serious you take your turquoise jewelry! Maybe you got a big Santa Fe/Texas wedding coming up or an high end event?? This would be the necklace that will leave them talking! Only one of these were made, so if you don't want to be wearing something that everyone else & their mother have, then this is it! Guaranteed!
