Unique Sterling Silver Jade Dangle Earrings, "Dark Green Sacred Quetzal"
Resplendent in sterling silver, the quetzal bird was believed to be the god of air by the ancient Maya. Today it is Guatemala's national symbol. Classed as a near-threatened species, a quetzal hides behind droplets of dark green jade. Zandra Lorena Sajbin handcrafts her original earrings in honor of ancient traditions.

"Love this ring, however"





I love this ring, it is stylish and simple. I have received lots of compliments on it. However, the stone fell out (thankfully while I was driving so I was able to save the stone). I only wear it on special occasions, take it off when I wash my hands, and store it in my jewelry box. I now have to find glue that will not damage the beautiful stone since jade is porous. I still love it and would have given 5 stars except for the stone falling out (which really should not happen).
