Honestly speaking though, Federico’s exquisite and innovative designs always seem to possess a truly remarkable ability to steal the spotlight, effortlessly directing attention onto you while simultaneously making you feel as though you're the only person in the room who truly exists in that moment. His stunning, meticulously designed pieces have the power to evoke a profound sense of empowerment and undeniable confidence, leaving you feeling not only incredibly beautiful, but also fully in control of your personal story and presence.

THE NECKLACE:
This eye-opening, head-turning necklace is designed with a striking “Mayan” vibe. The motif echoes the ornamentation you might associate with noble or royal Mayan jewelry—who traditionally worked in jade or turquoise—yet here the look is rendered in luminous abalone. The necklace features numerous 1" x 3/4" rectangular abalone panels that play a dominant role in the overall design: 10 cuts per side in the neckline alone and 9 more set into the 3.75" X 2.50” non-removable pendant drop. What truly enhances this remarkable piece are the 7 chunky tear-drop dangles, each about 1" x 1/2", which add movement and presence.
All abalone pieces are bezel-set in heavy gauge sterling silver, contributing to the necklace’s substantial weight—over 3/4 of a pound (see info below). As the necklace moves, the abalone reveals an extraordinary palette of lime greens, periwinkle blues, mauve-pinks, golden yellows, and tannish greys.
To help protect the abalone from the elements, each cut appears to have a thin resin-like coating that also adds a subtle extra shine.
***Please pay attention to the weight listed below before purchasing***
** In the photos, I did not use any features when I edited the pictures that would give you a false color, but rather, what I did do, was turned the abalone toward the light so you can witness all the color that is naturally there **
**If you pull up the last 3 photos, I have not only those items being shown with the necklace, but other gorgeous items as well that will be listed asap!! These are just some that will compliment the necklace! These items are sold separate & will be posted under their appropriate category. **
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 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!
