Federico Jimenez- Small & Very Dainty- Contemporary Australian Opal Squash Blossom -Sterling Necklace/Earring SET- Light & Wearable! - Great Gift for Any Age!
SOLD AS AS SET! PRESENTLY I DO HOWEVER HAVE A PAIR OF THESE SAME OPAL EARRINGS THAT CAN BE FOUND & ARE LISTED UNDER THE ‘EARRINGS 4” CATEGORY!
Made in a traditional, but with a very modern Santa Fe’an vibe, Federico offers something a little different with this set, by not giving us turquoise, nor pearls, nor amethyst, but jewelry made with the beauty of the Australian Opals!!
Opals are considered both precious & semi-precious & are known for their "diffraction of light" qualities, with these being mined from the "Lightning Ridge" area of Australia.. Opals are also known for their wonderful "play of color", where with movement, you see a rainbow prism of color that ranges from lime greens, turquoise blues, periwinkle blues, oranges to yellows to creams..I personally say the dominate colors are periwinkle blues,lime greens & creams.
The necklace is made with 10 small ‘Blossoms’ in total ,along with a small crescent shaped Naja. The necklace & earrings are designed with the same 4 stone cluster pattern throughout.The opal cabochons are bezel set atop of a contemporary mirror polished finished sterling.
Leading to the closure is 4.50” of sterling chain (per side) that is also used for an extender. At full length it measures 18”,but because of the extender, you can wear it up higher on the neck if you like, by putting the hook any where within the chain. (See photos 17 & 18 near the end of photos)
Having that true signature look of Santa Fe & the southwest, both the necklace & earrings are extremely dainty, with both being light & very wearable on the body, which actually makes this set the perfect choice for any teen girl to adult woman & especially those who like their jewelry on the understated - “I can hardly feel it’s on”, side!
These are NOT doublets/triplet Opals,which are "Man Made" Opals & which are what some sellers are calling "Opals" when they are not!
