Resplendent in sterling silver, the quetzal bird was believed to be the god of air by the ancient Maya. Today it is Guatemala's national symbol. Classed as a near threatened species, a quetzal hides behind a green jade pendant. Zandra Lorena Sajbin handcrafts her original necklace in honor of ancient traditions.
