Mayan Courage

Carved from dark green Guatemalan jade, this pendant necklace is graced by a nahual, an emblem of the spiritual guides linked to each person as determined by the Mayan calendar. The Ajpu nahual symbolizes courage, light, triumph over adversity, personal growth and connection with the divine. Boasting sterling silver fixtures and an adjustable waxed cotton cord, Ruben and Gilda Perez’s extraordinary design blends tradition, craftsmanship and personal significance.
