Guatemala's Zandra Lorena Sajbin highlights the unique beauty of jade in the triangular shape of these pyramid earrings. She sets the very light green jade - known as verde manzano or "apple green" in Guatemala - in sterling silver as she crafts these earrings by hand. The ancient Maya referred to jade as Ya'ax Chich, and they regarded it as a sacred symbol of life, fertility and power.

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

I am glad Ive discovered the Maya Empress necklace. It is beautiful, minimalist without being too simple, with a perfect lenght, and elegant colours; realized with perfection. Five stars from me, and a big thank you.

While I expected some variation in the jade color, the stones were dark, dark. Hardly green, at all. The picture shows the earrings as being substantially constructed. Not so. The ear wires are flimsy silver and difficult to use because they have to be manipulated so they will break, or at best will become gnarly-looking. I am not going to return them because that would end up being expensive. All in all, Im very disappointed.
