FEDERICO JIMENEZ STUNNING Lone Mountain Turquoise Red Spiny Oyster Shell 925 Panel Style Statement Necklace
FEDERICO JIMENEZ STUNNING Lone Mountain Turquoise Red Spiny Oyster Shell 925 Panel Style Statement Necklace
Its pieces like this, that set this worldwide designer apart from the rest & Federico went above & beyond when designing this absolutely stunning necklace! It's one of those that stop you in your tracks & is made with Federico's 'signature statement' style.It’s pieces like this,that make him so desirable!
It is obvious that love,lots of time & pride for making it right,went into the making of this & no way is it simple,plain nor 'average'..In fact,it is above average.
The design is exquisite & breathtaking & the inner neckline itself is made of round chunky Spiderweb Lone Mountain turquoise cabochons, that lay along the neckline & are bezel set between the oval cabs that are actually apart of the turquoise panels that are set with the elongated cuts of red spiny oyster. These trapezoidal cuts of Spiny are something you just don’t find & really bring the necklace to the magnitude it is made. The panels graduate down in size as they lead to the back.All the panels are on an angle,so they will follow the neckline with grace.. The trapezoid cuts are framed by a generous amount of tiny little turquoise cabochons.
The little oval surrounding cabochons are all Nevada turquoise & are more on the greener side.The matrix in them goes from black to earthy brown.This is not treated,stabilized turquoise that you find more & more in SW jewelry these days & besides the time it took to make this,this is what also dictates the price,since ‘natural’ is more costly that treated.
If you love to stand out & can't except nothing but the best 'quality' for yourself,this then will be a piece that you will keep in your collection for years & years & be able to pass it down,since it has a heirloom quality.
