Unique Sterling Silver Jade Dangle Earrings, "Dark Green Sacred Quetzal"
Resplendent in sterling silver, the quetzal bird was believed to be the god of air by the ancient Maya. Today it is Guatemala's national symbol. Classed as a near-threatened species, a quetzal hides behind droplets of dark green jade. Zandra Lorena Sajbin handcrafts her original earrings in honor of ancient traditions.
