This Minimalist Bright Green Jade Button Earrings from Guatemala 'Vital Dew' is a superb and sophisticated accessory. Designed by Ruben and Gilda Perez, these drop-shaped button earrings are made of bright green jade with sterling silver posts. The piece, which embodies dedication and culture, is a beautiful representation of the artisans' commitment to securing their children's future through their artistry.
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 jade and .925 sterling silver posts. The earrings are 0.9 inches in length and 0.4 inches in width. It has a high-polish finish. Natural stone color and variegation will vary.
