In the midst of a dark green forest, a toucan guards the Tikal, the great Maya temple. Zandra Lorena Sajbin creates the image with dark green jade and sterling silver as she crafts the reversible pendant by hand. "The toucan is now a bird in danger of extinction, so I've become interested in capturing the uniqueness of the toucan in my jewelry designs. It's my way of raising consciousness on the importance of looking after the toucans and their natural habitat."

Ms. Zandra Lorena Sajbin created this beautiful necklace. I purchased it as a birthday gift for my niece as it matches an American turquoise ring I was given as a child, long ago. Thank you!

Love this ring. Large enough for a statement, but not so big that its uncomfortable. Very nice quality.
