This Chalchihuitl necklace and earring set is one-of-a-kind. These hand carved jade beads were sourced from a master craftsman and friend in Antigua, Guatemala and feature a stunning range of green shades and unique shapes.
In Guatemala, the Maya believe jade to have incredible spiritual significance, connecting them to the natural world, the supernatural world, and to the afterlife.
The old Aztec or Nahuatl word for iade is “chalchihuitl”. which has been translated to mean both “heart of the earth” and “beauty”.
