These Reversible Black and Light Green Jade Dangle Earrings 'Ancient Leaves' by Independent Artisans are a pair of reversible dangle earrings that are a beautiful homage to Mayan culture. Zandra Lorena Sajbin carves natural black Guatemalan jade in the shape of leaves and adds a light green stone on the reverse side. The earrings are framed by sterling silver, and they can be slipped off the hook and turned to show the opposite side, offering versatility and style.
Born in Quiché in 1983 and raised in San Lucas Tolimán, this artisan discovered her passion for jewelry alongside her husband, who taught her to craft silver pieces. What began with a simple pair of earrings soon became a livelihood, sustained by perseverance and the support of her first client, her son’s pediatrician. Today, she and her husband run a workshop where they design jewelry that blends silver with jade, a stone revered by the ancient Maya as sacred and protective. Inspired by tradition, she seeks to honor her heritage while creating pieces that appeal to both locals and international visitors. Her work has been recognized by Guatemala’s Tourism Institute for its quality and artistry, and she takes pride in teaching her two sons the craft to carry on the family legacy. Each creation reflects her values of love, resilience, and cultural preservation, offering jewelry imbued with meaning and tradition.
Handcrafted from .925 sterling silver and jade, these hook earrings measure 1.7 inches L x 0.7 inches W x 0.2 inches D and have a high-polish finish.
