These sterling silver and green jade earrings are about 3/4", falling about an inch in total. They are handmade in the heart of Jocotenango, where Fermin and his family live amidst piles of stone, loud clangs and a handful of busy workers.

This incredible artisan was introduced by our friend Rolando three years ago. Fermin, who’s nickname is “Mincho,”is a connoisseur of Jade and has been creating jewelry for years.
