Jewelry ｜Necklace, Federico, Isleta Cross, Turquoise, Hallmark, Contemporary, 3848

A contemporary spin on a classic style.
This statement piece is by one of our favorite contemporary artisans, Federico Jimenez. It’s a nod to the squash blossom silhouette, but with a unique spin of Isleta Cross in place of traditional blossoms and naja. The single strand of sterling silver desert pearls is adorned with 14 dainty cross “blossoms”, each boasting a tiny turquoise snake eye stone, and it’s finished with a complementing cross with a trio of turquoise stones. Beautiful and unique. 
Federico Jiménez (1941 -; Mexican). Born in Tututepec, Mexico; lives and works in Southern California. Designer and maker of bold southwestern style jewelry; cluster work.

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.
