Truly Lovely”

First off, its bigger than I thought itd be which is great. Nice polish, good color and inclusions. Is darker and more opaque than the smaller version of this, which I was not expecting but am pleased.

Gift”

Really loved these earrings. Brought them as a Xmas gift but had to return them because they are just too big on the earlobes. Although the size is listed with a picture, they appear much larger in person than on the picture shown. So sad but I had to return them.

Many of their designs include jade, which was highly valued by ancient civilizations in the area and used as ornaments, tools, and burial artifacts. Their artwork is often a reflection of Guatemalan culture and they used techniques passed down over generations.
