Details

Maya legend tells of how the god of maize used three jade stones to hold up the sky apart from the sea. The ancient Maya deposited three jades in the tombs of the aristocracy, for the green gem came to be regarded as a sacred stone and source of life. Guatemala's Ruben and Gilda Perez showcase the natural beauty of light and dark jade earrings that are crafted by hand with sterling silver hooks.

"beautiful work"

I have bought a number of pieces from Ruben and Gilda. They understand the soul of jade. Their work is amazing both esthetically and technically. I plan on purchasing more from their collection both for myself and as gifts. In their hands, jade is truly royal.

"Green Jade Treasure"

These jade earrings are exceptional in my opinion. I found them in Guatemala. The edges are black which draw the eye and add drama. I believe the sides are onyx. They are versatile in style yet sophisticated. Unusual in their creativity. I absolutely adore them. in gratitude, Dr. Melissa
