Inspired by Eastern philosophies, Matta designs a pair of earrings shaped like young bamboo stalks. Bamboo is regarded as a symbol of fertility, and in Chinese philosophy the straight stem of bamboo symbolises the path towards enlightenment. The earrings are perfectly cut of jade, regarded as a stone of good luck. The earrings hang from sterling silver hooks.

Zandra Lorena Sajbin follows in the footsteps of her Maya ancestors as she preserves the millenary art of jade jewelry. Known as Ya'ax Chich, jade was regarded as a sacred symbol of life, fertility and power. Sajbin sets the natural green gem in sterling silver as she crafts these earrings by hand.
