FIRM ON PRICE-SORRY BUT NO DISCOUNTS APPLY TO THIS ITEM

A PERSONAL WORD:

Truthfully speaking, I have to say that I don’t know of another artist that 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 designs, but when it comes to his Pearl jewelry, he infuses that same incredible OMG-WOW factor into every piece like you’ll find with his other 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. These pearls are chunky in size, lending each piece a bold, unmistakable statement that truly stands out. 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.

BAROQUE PEARLS:

Baroque pearls are THE pearl for the present-day fashionista who is seeking something truly unique and more satisfying for their sophisticated tastes, especially for those who want to move beyond the somewhat boring and everyday "common" perfectly round pearls. Unlike the traditional perfectly round pearl, these funky, irregularly shaped, naturally formed gems come in a fascinating variety of sizes and shapes. Much like fingerprints or diamonds, no two baroque pearls are exactly the same, making each piece genuinely one-of-a-kind. Pearls themselves are TIMELESSand have remained a #1 choice since the very beginning of jewelry history, but nothing quite compares to the unmatched elegance and distinctive beauty of these particular pearls. While they exude sophistication and elegance that can enhance every feminine attribute, baroque pearls also carry a fresh, ultra-modern vibe perfectly suited for the confident, stylish woman who loves her jewelry to stand out!!

THE NECKLACE/PENDANT:

There is truly nothing that takes Santa Fe fashion over the top quite like the stunning combination of Pearls and turquoise! Fashionably elegant and absolutely mouth-drooling delicious, this set is thoughtfully designed to offer you multiple stylish options for how it can be worn. As it comes, 1) you can wear both the necklace and pendant together for a bold, cohesive statement; 2) choose to wear just the pearl necklace alone for a simpler, yet still undeniably elegant look; 3) if you have another big bale pendant that will fit over the strand, you can add another pendant of yours to it and 4) wear the pendant with a variety of other strands such as Navajo Pearls, turquoise beads, or whatever pieces you have on hand, giving you endless versatility and style possibilities.

THE PEARL NECKLACE:

Designed with a contemporary ambiance, there are 48 chunky average sized 10.5 mm to 12 mm baroque pearls that dictate it's 27-1/4" 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 & have a mirrored polished finishing. Each panel is connected by way of heavy gauge jump rings on the backside,so each are securely held! (See 2nd to last photo) It is made with an extremely generous amount of both pearls & sterling, which gives the necklace alone, a whopping weight of not quite a 1/2 POUND!

THE TURQUOISE PROVENANCE IN THE PENDANT:

Equally as appealing as the necklace, the turquoise cut comes from "Larry Cooley's turquoise collection & what the late Mr. Cooley was widely known for, was he was one of the most reputable and trusted turquoise vendors in the industry, a go-to source for artists seeking the highest quality turquoise for their own intricate designs. With his extensive knowledge and experience, he understood the subtle differences that separated lower-grade stones from premium-grade ones and was deeply committed to offering only the finest turquoise that each mine produced. His dedication to excellence meant he always focused on providing the very best turquoise available, making his collection truly exceptional.

Following Larry's passing, numerous potential buyers expressed strong interest in purchasing his entire collection. However, thanks to Federico's long-standing connection not only with Larry but also with Larry's family, he was fortunate enough to acquire this "once in a lifetime" limited and exceptionally over the top pricey collection. This exclusivity and rarity are clearly reflected in the price when purchasing anything made with his turquoise. (This quality & size is dictated in the price)

THE LARGE KINGMAN PENDANT:

The just over 2” tall cut comes from the renowned Kingman turquoise mine, famous for its exceptional quality. Unlike many other mines, Kingman offers an impressive and vast range of beautiful colors, as well as a variety of different colored matrix patterns. It’s truly one of those mines that surprises collectors and artisans alike with its diversity. Just when you think you’ve become familiar with Kingman turquoise and all its hues, another captivating tone emerges that completely throws you off track! The free form shape of this particular rock naturally dictates the overall design and shape of the pendant. Surrounding the turquoise centerpiece is a striking cluster halo made up of chunkier, naturally formed Baroque pearls, which are noticeably larger than the ones featured in the accompanying necklace.

Would make a fabulous gift that includes weddings, bridal, anniversary ,birthdays or anytime you just want a dynamite looking (And designed!) necklace!

PRICING IS BASED ON:

Anything with Larry's turquoise comes with a higher price tag, due to the quality & availability.. Also, Artist & artist reputation, the quality of the turquoise, the amount of carats, the cost per carat, sterling cost & artists time are reflected in 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's 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 (photo) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
