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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: This Light Green Jade and Silver Cocktail Ring from Guatemala 'Maya Virtue in Light Green' is a minimal and original accessory.
