Details

Zandra Lorena Sajbin evokes Maya glory with the exquisite design of this necklace. Working with sterling silver, she crafts seven light green jade pendants. Ya'ax Chich in Maya, jade was regarded as a sacred symbol of life, fertility and power. Each gem on this necklace sits on delicately detailed settings featuring the quetzal bird, national emblem of Guatemala, and Maya characters holding a corn cob, regarded as sacred. Two of the pendants are adorned with the jaguar temple at Tikal flanked by two faces.

“Almost”

The quality and speckled color are beautiful and the detailed sterling designs on the back are both artfully done and unique. The maíz shapes of each stone are very rich and indigenous in a way that just makes me smile and appreciate my culture. I am sad to have to return because I just could not get it to sit right on my little neck. An average neck would not have this problem so I still give it five stars.

“Superior craftsmanship”

For some time I have been searching for the perfect jade ring, looking through the pages of my favorite jewelry store, comparing details and photos, Having bought several lovely Zandra pieces for gifts for my daughter as well as myself--so I appreciate the quality of Zandras work. The size of the stone is perfect, and the silverware is lovely. My only disappointment is with the color, which I thought would be close to the light color of my Zandra earrings. My ring is not pale green as the description claims. It is deep green with no sign of any mottling. I know jade color varies, and Im wearing the ring right now with a sweater that matches nicely. Just remember that the jade in the picture is the same style but not necessarily close in color. That said, this artist is one of my favorites.
