Delivery EstimateGreen jade fangs symbolize a person's ability to overcome adversity. According to Maya customs, fangs represent animals of night, and vanquishing them means triumphing over one's darkest fears. Thus, wearing the fang represented channeling the creature's energies and becoming invincible. Known as ya'ax chich to the ancient Maya, jade was regarded as a sacred symbol of life, fertility and power. Zandra Lorena Sajbin showcases the dark green gem in these dramatic earrings.

"Still a favorite."
Purchased a couple years ago, still one of my favorite pairs of earrings. Not too heavy and the jade is dark enough to work as a neutral color with different outfits.
