DESCRIPTION:

There is something so warming to the soul with this design! It’s not only about choosing the highest quality of turquoise in jewelry,but by placing a stone this way,then that way,using this cut here & then that cut there,is what makes a design so pretty & helps to make a designer stand apart from the rest.

Used, is the curvature of the larger center oval for the inverted tear drop shape clusters, which are used to anchor the dangles.The tear drop cuts follow the curvature of the oval & gives the earring its width & the ability for the dangles to spread like little turquoise drops of rain!

With these,it’s not so much about ‘quantity’,as it is ‘quality’..They are a very wearable earring & personally will look as good on a cold dreary winter day, as they will on a warm sunny day!

ABOUT THE TURQUOISE:

When it comes to designers that buy stones for their designs,there was one vendor that was the most sought out & that was the late Larry Cooley.Larry was known for years in the industry as the ‘go-to guy’ when designers wanted the best vintage mined turquoise with the best cuts & quality.Federico was one of many who would buy & was so close with Larry, so much that before Larry passed, Larry requested that his vast & highly collectible collection of turquoise be passed on to Federico..Federico turned these stones into some of the most exquisite & AMAZING designs you’ll ever see & this “select collection” of turquoise is not apart of his regular inventory & once all the designs sell,there will be no more.The turquoise is one of a kind ,the highest quality you can get & cannot be replaced!

**~An example as to what dictates prices in turquoise.**

Turquoise is priced on few things…whether the turquoise is natural or treated,with natural being more valuable per carat than treated.Then you look at price per carat for what that quality goes for,how many carats are used.

Remember turquoise is like a finger print,with no 2 being exactly the same & with that said,even though you can get turquoise from that same mine,it will be different from the next.What also dictates the price is the cost of the metal,the work & time that went into making the piece & lastly,the designer whose name is on them.
