elephant gifts for her

For the indigenous people of pre-Columbian America, especially the Mayas, the ya’ax chich or "jade" meant life, fertility, and power. It was the most precious object, even above gold. These dangle earrings, by Guatemalan artisan Zandra Lorena Sajbin, feature smooth, dark green jade discs on silver ear wires with an etched elephant design.

Says Sajbin of her designs, "God has given us the wonderful gift that is nature: flora and fauna. These pieces represent all those domestic or wild animals that we can appreciate in all parts of the world."

Four sweet elephants shape a loving heart in the endearing design of these earrings. By Jantana in Thailand, the sterling silver earrings are crafted by hand and feature her characteristic brushed satin finish.

Made Sriasih calls these earrings kuping gajah, for they resemble highly adorned "elephant ears." An inspired design of eloquent elegance, Sriasih handcrafts them to evidence the legendary allure of Indonesian jewellery she learned from her father. Sriasih presents these earrings in a batik covered box, lined with velvet and finished with palm leaf thread. These earrings make for a stunning complement to an outfit of refined taste.
