The ancient Maya had a harmonious connection with nature, profiting from their environment while caring for Mother Nature as a sign of gratitude. As part of this culture of love for nature, dark green jade stones were considered amulets that connected people with the spiritual world, inspiring many creations and customs. This magnificent jewel, strongly associated with balance, is now the main element in Rafael Antonio Zurdo's newest domed ring, crafted from high-polished sterling silver for a dapper look.

"Very well made."
The width of the band makes it a little snug. The description is accurate, the darker jade is so dark it looks black. But under very bright sunlight, you get the impression of green.
