For the indigenous people of pre-Columbian America, especially the Mayas, the ya'ax chich or "jade" meant life, fertility, and power. It was the most precious object, even above gold. These dangle earrings, by Guatemalan artisan Zandra Lorena Sajbin, feature dark green natural jade square beads on silver ear wires above handcrafted teardrops of high-polish sterling silver.

Says Sajbin, "Jade is a very beautiful stone that I like to work with, as we can create endless shapes that allow us to make wonderful pieces."

Beautiful soft Green Jade Earrings”

I just love these earrings! They are a beautiful soft green jade set in silver that go well with casual or dress clothes. I did change out the original wires on these earrings with some longer skinnier wires that I can easily put on and take off. The other wires were too big for my ears. Unfortunately that meant losing the little silver accent at the top corner of the stone setting
