This 925 Silver Pendant Necklace with Oval Dark Green Jade Stones 'Maya Splendor' by Independent Artisans is a beautiful tribute to Guatemala's rich cultural heritage, designed by the husband-and-wife team Ruben and Gilda Perez. The necklace showcases seven oval dark green jade stones, a gemstone revered in pre-Hispanic cultures as a symbol of life, power, and fertility. Each stone is elegantly encased in polished sterling silver, reflecting the couple's dedication and reverence for this precious material. This eye-catching accessory adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit and serves as a captivating conversation piece, deeply connected to the spirit of Guatemala.
Ruben and Gilda, a husband-and-wife team from a town near Antigua, Guatemala, carry forward two artistic legacies: silversmithing and woodcarving. Ruben learned jewelry-making from his father, while Gilda grew up surrounded by her family’s woodcraft and traditional foods. They first met as teenagers, and after uniting their lives, they decided to combine their talents into a shared workshop. Ruben has been crafting jewelry since 1996, and Gilda began woodcarving in 2002, each piece reflecting the cultural heritage instilled by their parents. Today, their greatest inspiration comes from their children, whose future they hope to secure through their artistry, as well as from the traditions of their homeland. Beyond their workshop, they remain active in community life, with Ruben running a soccer school for local children and Gilda volunteering at church. Their creations embody dedication, culture, and love, offering jewelry deeply connected to Guatemala’s spirit.
Handcrafted in Guatemala, this necklace is made from 925 sterling silver with seven oval dark green jade stones. It features a high-polish finish, a bar chain, and secures with an S-hook or hook clasp. The necklace is 18 inches L with a pendant measuring 5.5 inches L x 0.5 inches W x 0.2 inches D.
