FEDERICO JIMENEZ ~Old Royston Turquoise~OVER THE TOP-HUGE-Naja Necklace-21.7 OZ.

Description

** This is a
ONE OF A KIND
necklace.. I have seen these massively type HUGE necklaces with NUMEROUS carats of premium turquoise that are retailing for ,000 -,000 !!This is A
STEAL
at my asking price & is actually under priced!
*************************
TURQUOISE PROVENANCE:
The turquoise this is made with came from the LARRY COOLEY' 1950's-'60's mined turquoise collection..Larry was known in the industry as the ‘go-to' turquoise guy’ who was known for having THE biggest,the highest quality-the most incredible collection of premium turquoise out of anyone,so that when designers like Federico would come along to buy,he could use these gems for his own jewelry designs. Federico & Larry were extremely close & were such good friends,so much so that before Larry passed,he requested that his huge & HIGHLY collectible collection of vintage mined turquoise be passed on to Federico because Larry knew that Federico was the best one who would put these stones to the best of their use. Federico of course, put these stones into some of his most incredibly designed pieces you'll ever see (This necklace is just one example!) & once they're used up,they're gone..(See my Federico necklace,earrings,bracelet listings) Larry had a big reputation for his turquoise & all you had to do was say "Larry Cooley Turquoise" & that alone, said it all..

DESCRIPTION:
"Your jewelry introduces you before you even speak"
Pushing the boundaries beyond their greatest levels,
this
is the type of jewelry that separates Federico from anyone else in the industry!!! And for those of us who love “Real” statement pieces,there’s only one that can bring you the biggest & boldest jewelry you’ll ever see & that is the jewelry designed by Federico..This is the reason he is so sought after because no one designs on such a massive scale like he & has to be the most fearless designer who’s literally not afraid to take it beyond "over the top"!
This is a "Go Big or go Home" necklace & I have no doubt,will be
THE
biggest necklace you will ever see,wear or own!!! It is not just ‘over the top’,but goes beyond & then much much more!! Just zoom in to see the size of some of these rocks!There is
nothing dainty
about them,even the smallest stone is bigger than most wear in a single piece of jewelry! Add the amount of each & you got a good chunk of the mine alone, in this one necklace!
Made with the most gorgeous blue Royston that is not treated,enhanced,stabilized or whatever else they do to turquoise these days! This is the beauty of vintage & you cannot get this quality anymore unless you want to pay
at least
- per carat..There is a massive amount of carats in this one necklace,alone!
The Naja is the biggest you’ll ever see,it is designed in a triple row cluster style that extends the width & length of my hand! In each layered crescent shape,there are free form cut rocks that are put together to assure the form lays,as well as looks balanced.It takes up a good part of the chest,it is that
HUGE
!
Not only is there a massive amount of turquoise in this,but the amount of sterling is equally as much,which makes this is a pretty heavy necklace (1 pound-5 Ounces) The strands are made with 3 sections per side that are designed in a ‘Butterfly’ styled design.Chunky round cabochons finalize the piece.
It is made in true Santa Fe/Texas fashion & is the type of necklace that is perfect for the person who LOVES the biggest & best there is & is
guaranteed no one
else will have this same necklace! It’s truly a “collectors piece”!
Also perfect necklace for any Santa Fe/Texas Wedding!

PLEASE NOTE:
I am not a professional photographer, but try my best to give you the truest color in the photos as they will be in person..
In order to give you close up photos, pictures can tend to make the item look much more larger & more magnified than in actuality. Even though this is one huge necklace,close up's can make the item look even larger & then you get it in hand & say, "it looked much larger in the photos!"
So to get a accurate idea of how big this is, please look at it being worn in photo 1 on the mannequin or pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
