This Handcrafted Central American Sterling Silver Jade Necklace 'Love Immortal' by Independent Artisans is a stunning piece that honors the sacred value of Guatemalan jade. The Jimenez Family played with geometry and angles to create a design that features squares of natural jade set in sterling silver encasings. Jade, regarded as more valuable than gold by the ancient Aztec and Maya, symbolizes immortality and is believed to attract love and money. This necklace reflects the resilience and creativity of a family determined to transform challenges into lasting beauty.
Pedro and Esperanza, a husband-and-wife team from Guatemala, built their lives around silver and jade despite having no background in jewelry and coming from farming families. Their journey began in their teens, when Pedro was offered work in a silversmith’s workshop and quickly embraced the craft. After years of learning, the couple set out on their own, enduring financial hardship but remaining committed to their vision. Today, their family workshop has grown into a true collaboration: their son Luis Estuardo contributes innovative designs, Maribel manages sales, and Saira oversees finances while completing her degree in business administration. The family works exclusively with Guatemalan jade and recycled silver refined into .925 sterling, combining artistry with sustainability. Each piece reflects not only heritage and creativity but also the resilience of a family determined to transform challenges into lasting beauty.
This necklace is handcrafted in Guatemala from .925 sterling silver and natural jade. It has a high-polish finish and is secured with a toggle clasp. The necklace measures 18 inches in length, and the pendant measures 0.6 inches W x 0.2 inches D. Natural stone variations in color and/or pattern are to be expected.
