Truthfully speaking, I have to say that I don’t know of another artist who elevates pearls and transforms them into pieces that are so outrageously chic and ultra fabulous, quite like those bearing Federico's name. Many admirers recognize him for his stunning turquoise designs and his iconic Oaxaca Love Bird creations, but when it comes to his Pearl jewelry, he infuses that same incredible OMG-WOW factor into every single piece, just as you’ll find with his other celebrated designs. Pearls hold a dominant, almost regal, place in his collections, especially his Baroque pearl jewelry, which can literally make you fall to your knees with their breathtaking beauty and unique character. These pearls are chunky in size, lending each piece an unmistakable statement that truly stands out in any setting!! Wearing his jewelry, you may feel like the most important woman on earth, and even if you weren’t previously a die-hard fan of pearls, Federico’s aquatic gem masterpieces just might change your mind completely and inspire a new appreciation for these timeless gems.(To see additional Pearl necklaces & or Pearl & Turquoise necklaces, please go to the “Necklace” category & the “Necklace 2” category! -You can click on “Pearl Necklaces or Federico”)

*****************

Although not ‘technically’ classified as a traditional “Squash Blossom” necklace, we nevertheless often connect it to that style, especially when we observe the distinctive “Naja” crescent shape. This crescent is a signature symbol deeply rooted in Southwest Native American jewelry traditions and instantly recognizable to enthusiasts.

Elegantly gorgeous with a truly feminine vibe, this necklace is designed with naturally formed, slightly irregular small Baroque white pearls scattered throughout its design. Each pearl is bezel set atop a generous amount of contemporary mirror polished sterling silver, creating a striking contrast. The neckline alone features 12 pearls (per side), surprisingly consistent in size despite their unique, one-of-a-kind formations. The centerpiece, a “Floral-Naja” crescent, is visually more intricate, since they have more of a pointed tip on many of the pearls, adding an extra layer of detail.

Unlike many of Federico Jimenez’s more elaborate and bold designs, this particular necklace is understated and not overly heavy or cumbersome, making it comfortable for everyday wear. Instead of being overly large or overly small, it strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and elegance.

This necklace would make an ideal gift for any woman who adores pearl jewelry and values a piece that is both timeless and uniquely beautiful. Whether you’re considering it as an anniversary present, a holiday gift, or a stunning accessory for a special wedding—either your own or one you’re attending—this necklace delivers subtle sophistication with a touch of Southwest charm.

Perfect enough to wear solo, but if you want a bit more statement with a more over the top look, try doing a Coco Chanel thing by layering it with additional longer or shorter pearl necklaces!!
