This Maya Motif Black Jade Pendant Necklace 'Baktun' is an intriguing and culturally significant accessory. Designed by Ulysses, the sterling silver pendant features 13 silver beads on each side of a polished black jade cabochon, representing the current baktun according to the Maya Long Count Calendar. The piece, which reflects both the artisan's Brazilian heritage and his adopted Guatemalan home, is a beautiful representation of the richness of cultural exchange.
Brazilian-born Ulysses has built a career rooted in innovation, adaptability, and community. Early in his journey, he crafted jewelry from bamboo alongside his children, who eagerly explored the workshop by his side. After relocating to Guatemala more than a decade ago, Ulysses and his family discovered the beauty of Maya jade, a stone that became central to their creative practice. Blending jade with silver, his designs reflect both his Brazilian heritage and his adopted Guatemalan home. Collaboration lies at the heart of his work—he shares ideas with artisans across disciplines, from carpentry to weaving, finding inspiration in their talents. Today, his jewelry carries the authenticity of natural materials and the richness of cultural exchange, offering timeless pieces that celebrate tradition and creativity across generations.
Handcrafted in Guatemala with .925 sterling silver and jade. The necklace is 18 inches long. The pendant measures 1.2 inches in length and 2.1 inches in width. It has a high-polish finish.
