FEDERICO JIMENEZ-Dainty/Delicate-Hand Cut Square/Tile Cut-Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Sterling Choker Necklace-17-3/4" Long
FEDERICO JIMENEZ-Dainty/Delicate-Hand Cut Square/Tile Cut-Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Sterling Choker Necklace-17-3/4" Long
Unlike many of Federico's over the top pieces, this one is made in a more understated, dainty style choker necklace, while still showing all the attributes known to him.
The highly impressive part about this necklace is for the skilled workmanship that it took to cut all these stones, since they are not 'pre-cut-industry purchased' cabochon cuts that a designer buys from a vendor & then uses, but rather were cut by one of Federico's professional lapidarian’ s who started from the larger sized turquoise rock & then one by one were cut & shaped down to size by HAND! So as simple as the necklace looks, the appreciation is really in the time that the lapidarian took, to assure the stones are pretty much all the same size and the same color!
Made of a more pale-medium saturated color of all natural Sleeping Beauty turquoise, this is made in a 'panel' style design, where there are 24 "L" shaped 3 stone panels, whereas the 25th panel has a 4 stone design that sits in the center. Each 5/8" x 1/2" panel is linked together by heavy gauge "O" rings, to allow it to fold up, whether for storage or travel.(See backside photo)
***I carry the 'tile cut' designed line in every style made & now we have this popular design in a necklace! And for those who may own the ring, earrings or the cuff in Sleeping Beauty turquoise, now you can add this, to beautifully compliment your collection!
Perfect size for a teenager to an adult woman who loves her turquoise jewelry on the dainty side!

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic", so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the piece.. Monitors however, can make a piece look more vibrant (Or duller) so it's good to go through all photos to see any variation.
In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail, photos can tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified & exaggerated than in actuality. So to get an accurate idea of how big this is,please zoom in on photos 2 or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
