FEDERICO JIMENEZ-Intense/Drop to your Knees Blue!-Natural BISBEE Turquoise Cluster Sterling Drop Earrings-2-1/8" (Larry Cooley Turquoise)
THE EARRINGS:
As a seller, I very rarely say "The pictures don't do them justice," but with these particular earrings, you truly can't imagine the vibrant color they possess or fully appreciate their beauty just by looking at photos. It’s only when you have them in hand that you truly understand why Bisbee’s color stands apart so distinctly from the rest of our USA turquoise collection. The depth and richness of these earrings are something that simply must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
Good Bisbee turquoise has always been one of the top #1 choices for the discerning turquoise connoisseur, and for very good reason. Renowned for its mesmerizing and extraordinarily vivid blue color, this turquoise displays some of the most striking matrix patterns, making it truly unique. It also ranks high in 'hardness' among turquoise varieties, which means it does not require stabilization for lapidarians to cut and shape it. Not only are the blues intense and captivating, but some cuts also feature its signature chocolate brown matrix, along with beautiful pyrite and quartz inclusions. These matrix patterns are not overly large or overwhelming, but rather, they enhance the stone’s character, speaking volumes about its exceptional color and superior quality, where quality consistently takes precedence over quantity.
They are designed in a 2 tier drop cluster & are made with uncalibrated cuts that are more 'free form' cut rather than precisely shaped from one to the other. So with that said, the focus was more on using all Bisbee cuts, with the same intensity, same matrix patterns, rather that the stones matching perfectly in size & shape. However, they are as close to being in the same shape & size as much as possible. Please go through all photos before purchasing please.
If having each stone not matching in size & shape tends to bother you,I do have other earrings that are precisely matched that you can check out!!. (None though with this kind of Bisbee)

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try my hardest to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color as much as I can. I do however, find this particular blue harder to photograph since I don't want them to come across too vibrant, nor too dull. Each monitor varies and also plays a role in how vibrant or less vibrant as something appears. If you need more photos, please let me know!
To give you close up photos,pictures tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. So to get an accurate idea of how big these are,please either check them out being worn to get a rough idea (photos) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements above.
