FEDERICO JIMENEZ- Powerhouse SHOWSTOPPER!- Trillion Cut Orange Spiny Oyster with Pearl Halo Cluster Sterling Necklace- Added 5 Panel Drop
Designed in a "showstopper-powerful-head turning" design, this is designed with a southwestern couture edginess & is irresistibly delicious! It is what I would consider "Finer" southwest jewelry that has a cosmopolitan upscale look that will look as striking at any New York City event as it will on Michigan Ave., Santa Fe or Scottsdale!
It beautifully showcases all the trillion cuts of spiny oyster shell that range from a rusty orange color to a vibrant orange. Each shell is then surrounded by an extremely time consuming amount of little white pearls that act as a halo.. The inner layer is made with 18 panels & then connected to the center 3 panels is an additional layer of 5 panels that graduate in size as they near the end of their design...It's THIS panel that really adds to the look of the necklace & adds Federico signature style who rarely does 'simple & plain', but rather one who says " why create one strand when building the design even further, will look even better?"
The closure is unique & if you zoom in on photos 23 through 26 you will see how the 2 pearls are apart of the closure.What you do to open this, is to 'push down' on those 2 pearls & slide the clasp out. When it's closed, those pearls are apart of the design! The material is bezel set atop of a generous amount of sterling that has a contemporary mirror polished finish.
It's the perfect necklace for any event, including weddings, parties, dinners, cruise vacations, gallery openings, black tie events, you name it!! But mainly it's a piece that people will definitely remember you wearing & one, if you want to leave a lasting impression!

PLEASE NOTE
I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my best at giving you accuracy in color. Warmer toned pieces (Especially orange!) can come up more vibrant & seriously saturated when photographing,so please take this into consideration. So with these colors,I do very little color editing & actually have to bring down the saturation,since I want this to be as true of color in the photos as in person.
