TURQUOISE PROVENANCE:
The turquoise these are made with came from the late LARRY COOLEY' 1950's-'60's mined turquoise collection..Larry was known in the industry as the ‘go-to' turquoise guy’ who was known for having THE biggest,the highest quality-the most incredible collection of premium turquoise out of anyone,so that when designers like Federico would come along to buy,he could use these gems for his own jewelry designs.These stones were mined before they started treating,so they not only come natural,but being Larry knew his turquoise,he didn't collect nothing less than THE best!

After Larry's passing,Federico was fortunate enough to get Larry's collection & put these stones into some of his most incredibly designed pieces you'll ever see & once they're used up,they're gone..(See my Federico necklace,earrings,bracelet listings)

Larry had a big reputation for his turquoise & all you had to do was say "Larry Cooley Turquoise" & that alone, said it all..

DESCRIPTION:
These are made in a heavily clustered design where the design is made in a triple row of round cuts that are sandwiched down the center by the tear drop cuts that face outward on each side.. What makes these earrings have such a wonderful prescence, is not only the vivid color of the turquoise,but how evenly the stones are matched in size & because of the tightly packed cluster style,all you see is this eye full of turquoise!! They are a well designed earring that have a perfect balance between stone & metal. The vibrant color will not only capture attention,but are designed in a statement size where they can't help but not be noticed!

The color is a sight for the eyes & is signature Sleeping Beauty!This turquoise rarely ever differs in tone, which makes it the 'Artists Choice" when they are doing cluster work & want a uniform tone through out the piece. The stones lay upon an oxidized sheet & have a contemporary mirror finishing on the backside.They do have some weight,so please be aware of this..(See weights below)
