Sleek, chic, and slender -- this little cutie belongs in your collection!

Crafted by renowned jewelry artisan Federico Jimenez, this beautiful cuff is a single row of cabochons of polished light orange spiny set in simple sterling silver bezels. The straight-edged, slim silhouette is perfect for incorporating into a 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.
