For husband-and-wife artisan team Ruben and Gilda Perez, art is an expression of culture. In this design, an apple green jade cabochon is surrounded by a bloom of sterling silver with subtle heart-shaped cutouts. It’s a nod to the ancient jade traditions of the Maya. Handcrafted in Guatemala and strung on cotton cord.
