FAQ

Each piece is made by hand and made to order. All pieces include a certificate of authenticity from Xibalba and lifetime maintenance in our studio in Antigua Guatemala.


How can I take care of my Xibalba Jewelry?

Every piece made in our studio meets the purity standards both in silver and gold.

The jade that we use has been ethically sourced in rivers in the south east of Guatemala. Other stones used in our pieces are natural stones as well.

While they are made to last a lifetime, pieces should be taken care of to prevent damage and tarnish.

Try not to submerge your jewelry in water, specially while bathing or swimming. Silver and gold get a natural patine while aging, even though we like that change of color that jewelry can have, you can polish them regularly to keep them brighter and shinier.
