Maya Eclipse Lilac and Dark Green Jade Pendant Necklace, "Lilac Quetzal Eclipse"
Zandra Lorena Sajbin creates a pendant of extraordinary beauty in honor of Maya astronomy. She crafts it by hand of sterling silver. A quetzal bird and a temple appear on one side, superimposed on a disk of lilac jade. The other side is dark green jade with a polished crescent moon. Maya astronomers sought to predict eclipses, which they likened to the galaxy taking a breath and which influenced human conscience.
Lilac jade is a natural stone. Its color will vary due to its white, green, blue and rose veins.

"Necklace"
I absolutely adore this necklace I bought earrings that kind of match it. I like the fact that you can reverse it where it two different ways. It is very well crafted and fits perfectly around my neck just the right legs. Thank you for what you do.

"Excelente calidad"
He recibido el anillo que compre. TenÃa ciertas dudas de si serÃa exactamente igual a las imágenes. Hoy me llego (antes de lo esperado) y realmente es tanto o más bonito que en las fotos. Quiero agradecerle a Zandra y decirle que esta no será mi última compra. Mucha suerte Zandra!
