Federico Jimenez-Free Form Chunky Cut-Copper Canyon (?) Turquoise with Heavy Amount of Copper Matrix-Sterling Drop Earrings-33 Grams
Federico Jimenez-Free Form Chunky Cut-Copper Canyon (?) Turquoise with Heavy Amount of Copper Matrix-Sterling Drop Earrings-33 Grams
These earrings immediately pulled my eye in, not only because of their rich, vibrant, and truly authentic turquoise color, but also because of the intricate copper matrix that beautifully complements the striking blue tones. The way the copper pops against the turquoise really gives the stones a distinctive and serious character, making each earring uniquely eye-catching. This fascinating interplay of copper and turquoise creates what I like to call a “fingerprint identity” for each stone, showcasing their one-of-a-kind nature.
They are thoughtfully designed in a classic and timeless style, where the entire focus is placed on the stunning teal-colored turquoise stones, rather than on intricate sterling silver work that might detract from their natural beauty. This elegant, ‘non-trendy ‘ two-stone drop design is made to endure through the ages, remaining beautiful and relevant no matter what level jewelers take their creativity!
I was told that the turquoise comes from the “Copper Canyon” mine, though during my research, I couldn’t find any images that perfectly match these earrings where you see this type of copper.. So, I can only say that based on the information I was given, that this is the mine they’re from
The earrings are designed with “Free Form” cuts, (rather than calibrated) and although not noticeable unless it's pointed out, you’ll notice the earring on the left is not as wide as the right one by about 1/8 of an inch.
If you are someone who insists on everything being perfectly symmetrical and even, these earrings might not be the best fit for you. However, this subtle asymmetry is very signature of Federico’s work, where such natural variations often occur. In fact, what was more crucial in the matching process was aligning the colors and character of the stones to highlight their beauty, rather than being perfectly matched in size.
