FEDERICO JIMENEZ BRACELET
DESCRIPTION: This is an exquisite turquoise bracelet by legendary Oaxacan artisan Federico Jimenez. Federico always utilizes the finest natural turquoise, much of it from old mines and collections long since depleted.
FEDERICO JIMENEZ was born in Oaxaca, Mexico in 1941 in a Mixtec Indian Community. He came to the USA in 1967 to study and work. He
studied jewelry making and design at the University Community School.
In 1970 He and his Wife Ellen Belber Jimenez took a trip to the
Southwest and fell in love with the American Indian Culture. He admired
the Indian craftsmanship and technique so much that he was inspired to
start a collection of Folk Art. He was a prior trustee of the "Millicent Rogers Museum" in Taos, New
Mexico and The Southwest Indian Museum in Los Angeles, CA. He is
currently a trustee on the board of the "Autry National Center" and "La
Plaza De La Cultura" in downtown Los Angeles, CA.
11 breathtaking specimens of natural Morenci turquoise connected with sterling silver links. This bracelet will be a valuable addition to your collection of the very finest jewelry from Federico Jimenez, along with your Southwestern and Native American jewelry.
