Jade dangle earrings, 'Mayan Heart in Black'

Cheri

Dec 29, 2021

Beautiful Craftsmanship

The black jade hearts are highly polished and very nice quality. I like the fact that the ear wires hook in the back, so you don't have to use rubber backs to secure them--a really nice feature. I have to wear a lot of black for work as part of my uniform, so I know I'm going to get lots of wear out of these. Thank you so much for these lovely earrings!
