These Handcrafted Sterling Silver Dangle Jade Earrings 'Faceted Green Droplet' by Independent Artisans are a bold and beautiful accessory. Designed by Ruben and Gilda Perez, the earrings feature faceted droplets of Guatemalan jade (ya'ax chich), which are the deep, rich green color of the quetzal bird's plumage. The lovely gems are complemented by handcrafted sterling silver. The pieces embody dedication, culture, and love, and are deeply connected to Guatemala's spirit.
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 with .925 sterling silver and jade, these hook earrings have a high-polish finish. Each earring measures 2.1 inches in length and 0.4 inches in width. Natural variations in stone color and pattern are expected.
