Cuff, Federico, Row, Turquoise, Hallmark, Contemporary, 4296

A FABULOUS FEDERICO!

We are a sucker for anything turquoise and crafted by Federico Jimenez, so you can imagine the joy we had when we came across this piece. This wide-set sterling silver cuff exemplifies a beautiful pop of color and expert craftsmanship. It features a row of 5 round turquoise cabochons set in simple bezels, each with its own unique matrix. They are accented by sterling silver drops for the perfect finishing touch. It’s strong enough to stand on its own, yet beautiful enough to add color to your stack!

Born in 1941, jewelry artisan Federico Jimenez has long had an appreciation for Native American culture and craftsmanship. Originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, Federico came to the United States in 1967 to work and go to school, where he studied jewelry making and design. In 1970, he and his wife Ellen Belber Jimenez traveled throughout the Southwest, where they first fell in love with the Native American and southwestern aesthetic. They became connoisseurs of folk art, and amassed a collection of Native American, Latin American, and Mexican antiques, jewelry, and housewares, opening a series of galleries in southern California. Formerly a trustee of the Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos, and The Southwest Indian Museum in Los Angeles, Federico now resides in Venice, California, where his primary focus is designing his jewelry.
