Black Jade Sterling Silver Pendant Bracelet from Guatemala, "Cosmic Eternity"

Jade was so rare in Mesoamerica that for generations, archaeologists thought its existence here was a sign of trade with Asia. The reality is that it comes from a small area in Central America and was highly prized. Today this jade comes in many natural colours, allowing artisans like Carolina Quiroa to experiment with ancient and modern designs. This sterling silver pendant bracelet features sleek black jade cut into an open circle.
