When we think of "Statement" jewelry,the 1st person that will come to mind will be FEDERICO!!! This massively HUGE Kachina pendant is in NO way a dainty piece,with being not just one,but ALL the stones being bigger than you can imagine!!! This pendant as you can see if you zoom in on photo 11, that it is wider & taller than my hand!
Made with a "Sampler" selection of all natural, chunky size Nevada turquoise that come in various cuts..The beauty of using a sampler selection is for the fact that for one,gives you THE best contrasts of color through out & 2,you get a turquoise sample of the beautiful rocks that our USA mines produce!
The headdress is made of free form cuts of blues & greens with brown,black & yellow gold matrix,while the HUGE turquoise face is some killer "Blue Gem" turquoise! The cut could not have been a better pick for the face! Look at the "V" jaw line it has! This color of Blue Gem is one you don't find often & has all the characteristics that mine is known for.The rectangular blue turquoise cuts are used for the arms,quality cuts of green Royston turquoise are used for the body & feet.
The bale has a opening where you can fit UP TO a 9 mm bead & if I can suggest that the Kachina needs a long (At least a 23") neck piece to put it on because of it's gigantic size.This size does not look good when worn on a 18" or 20" necklace.
Because of photographing it against a grey background,seems to tone down the color a tad & looks much more VIBRANT in person!
This is statement at it’s finest..This definitely has the look of Santa Fe/Texas & is 'signature' Federico! If you want the best of his,this is it!!! It's a real keeper! “Massively Huge” is really an understatement!
