FEDERICO JIMENEZ- HUGE Arizona Turquoise " Sampler" Cluster Sterling STATEMENT Ring ADJ. Bypass Shank - Size 9-1/2
FEDERICO JIMENEZ- HUGE Arizona Turquoise " Sampler" Cluster Sterling STATEMENT Ring ADJ. Bypass Shank - Size 9-1/2
This is made with a Arizona "Sampler" pick, meaning it is not made with one specific mine,but a few different mines from Arizona.The cuts are from both the Morenci mine (Closed down) & the Kingman mine. The great thing about samplers is for the fact that for one, you get more contrasts of color,since hues change per mine,matrix deposits & colors vary..
Designed with Federico's signature look, what he'll do is take cuts that vary in size & put them all together to achieve these incredible looks!! The clusters are not meant to match perfectly in shape & size,but rather their compatibility to work well alongside each other. It is made with 'free form' cuts, where they have no specific shapes that we usually see in jewelry & gives a funky look to the overall look of the ring. Each have some amazing character where you see lots of quartz & if you look closely at the center stone, (photo 4) you can even see metallic copper specks since these came from copper mines!
The shank is done in a adjustable bypass style that has "stars" used for stamp work.It is presently set at a size 9-1/2 and because of the bypass shank,makes it adjustable. I find that it's easier to go up in size, than to go down in size,(You can take it to a reputable jeweler) so if you need me to go up a few sizes for you,(No more than) please let me know at the time of purchasing!! However, please be aware that the more it's opened, the more the shank gets separated form it's closed position. These shanks only work when you need no more than a couple sizes,so it is not possible say, if you're wanting this to be a size 6.

A NOTE:
**I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my best at giving you accuracy in color without a whole lot of photo editing being done except to get rid of unwanted tones.I photographed this in front of 3 different backdrops,so please go through photos to see any variation.
To give you close up pictures,items can tend to look much more larger & much more more magnified than in actuality. So to get an accurate idea of how big this is,please either check it out being worn to get a rough idea (see photos ) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
