Jade Pendant Artisan Crafted Jewelry, "Maya Poplar Leaf"
(59)
"This pendant is inspired by the beautiful forests in my country, and I hope it becomes a reminder of the care and love that we must have toward our natural environment," confides Pablo Roquel. He carves the light green jade pendant by hand in the shape of a poplar leaf and details it with sterling silver. For the ancient Maya, jade was a sacred gem reserved for their deities and royalty.

"Very elegant jade earrings"
I love these earrings designed by Mr. Roquel. The black and light green jade stones are polished and the right size without feeling heavy when worn. It s elegant enough to be worn for special evenings out, or in daytime with casual dresses or even jeans. Nice and very noticeable earrings.

"Stud earrings"
They are beautiful earrings, but the posts are larger than I expected and are a little too big for my ears. Maybe a better fit for a male versus a female.
