Federico Jimenez- AMAZING- IMPRESSIVE- ARCHITECTURAL METAL ART - 46" XL - Interlocking Tri -Side -Gem Grade Sleeping Beauty Turquoise 925 Necklace
DESCRIPTION:
This necklace has to be one of the more well mastered-impressively made necklaces I've laid my hands on in awhile & actually a piece that should be in the "Architectural Digest~Jewelry Design Magazine"!! It's one of those pieces where you'll be asking yourself over & over again "How in the heck did they do that"??
To appreciate a necklace made at this caliber, you have to not only appreciate the obvious month's that it took the artist to make,but all the time it took to hand pick each one of the stones that then have to match in color, quality, size & turquoise mine from which they came from & then set each one of these 5 mm cuts that lay on 3 sides in this 46" length!!! This is made with an architectural & almost genius like mind where the mind has to be mathematical & analytical..AND where one has literally YEARS under their belt with jewelry experience,not to mention a whole LOT of patience!!
This is made in a 'tri-sided' form where 3 sides interlock with the other & the side that lays against the skin is flat with no stone.(See photos) On each side is a cab of gem grade Sleeping Beauty turquoise..I have no idea how many cabochons are in this but all I can say is A LOT!!!
But there's more about this necklace that makes it even better!!! Because of the length gives it some versatility in how you can wear it!!
1)Wear it long as is
2) Wear it long as is,but bring the closure to the front for a different look
3) Double it & wear in a even doubled length(see photo 3)
4) Double it & wear it where one strand is shorter than the other
5)Same as #4,but bring the closure to the front
Be creative!!!
Because of the amount of sterling & all the stone,this does have some weight to it, so please pay attention to that below.
This is contemporary & super classy in style while having a "Southwest Couture" aesthetic. Literally a MASTERPIECE of Architectural Metal Art! You really won’t witness how impressive this design is until you get this hand! And being a designer myself,it’s a piece you have to see to believe & appreciate!
