A PERSONAL WORD:

I have to admit, that NO other artist does pearls and elevates them to an entirely new level of high fashion elegance quite like the pieces that bear Federico's name. Many know him for his unbelievable statement head turning jewelry, but with his pearl jewelry you'll discover he pours that same OMG‑WOW factor into any & all of his pieces.. The elegance of Pearls play a dominant role for him, and his baroque pearl pieces in particular can make you feel breathless — they are that gorgeous, adding a bold, unmistakable statement. They bring out every womanly attribute you may have and if you weren't a die‑hard pearl fan before, seeing these aquatic gems worn Federico‑style might well change your mind.

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

BAROQUE PEARLS:

Unlike the somewhat boring, everyday “common-looking” small round pearl, these jazzy, irregularly shaped, naturally formed gems come in a variety of sizes — and like a fingerprint or a gemstone, no two are the same. Their distinctive character is instantly recognizable because of this unique individuality. Baroque pearls are the pearl of choice for the modern woman who loves something different and enjoys expressing her personality through what she wears. You can never go wrong with pearls — they are timeless and have been a top choice since the beginnings of jewelry — but nothing compares to the distinctive elegance of these particular pearls. Just ask Federico!

THE PEARL NECKLACE:

Designed with a contemporary ambiance, there are 48 chunky average sized 11 mm x 8.5 mm baroque pearls that dictate it's 28" long length. What is different about this necklace, is for the fact that these pearls are deliberately set to lay sideways, rather than forward. (See photos) The pearls sit in a high bezel (3/8” High or 8 mm) & have a mirrored polished finishing. Each panel is connected by way of heavy gauge jump rings on the backside, so each are securely held! It is made with an extremely generous amount of both pearls & sterling, which gives the necklace alone, a whopping weight at just a bit of an ounce shy of being just under 1/2 POUND!

VERSATILITY FACTOR:

The great thing about this necklace is it’s versatility AND you'll have choices as to how it can be worn!! As is, 1) you can wear the necklace alone for a more simple, but elegant look, 2) If you have another big bale pendant that has at least a 12 mm bale opening, you can buy the pearl abalone pendants that are shown in the photos OR you can add another pendant of yours to it!! If you have a pendant, you want to take the inside ‘east to west’ measurement of the bale opening & make sure it has at least 1/2” opening..

PLEASE NOTE THAT PRICING IS BASED ON:

With the gold and silver markets literally being out of control & increasing on a daily basis, the rising cost is directly reflected in what artists now must pay per gram or ounce for the metal. Also factored into prices, are the artist’s name and reputation, the number of carats and the cost per carat, the expense of each individual panel, and the need to compensate the artisan for the time and expertise required to create the piece. These are just some of the elements that together explain and contribute to the higher final price.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try my hardest to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color,just so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the piece. But please realize that all monitors are different, so the materials can look more vivid (or duller) from one computer to the next.

To give you close up photos,pictures tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. Close up photos make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big this is, please either check it out being worn to get a rough idea (see mannequin photos) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements. Please go over all the “Specifics” as well!
