Owner's Message
Jade, the celestial stone of the Maya, has been our passion since 1977. Our ancestors considered jade a symbol of eternal life and love. Today, it is our delight to handcraft this beautiful stone, with a rich and vast cultural background, into beautiful jewels and sculptures.
In 2003 we opened our doors to the Mesoamerican Museum Jade displaying over 70 art pieces that tell the story of the four main Mesoamerican cultures; Mokaya, Olmec, Maya and Aztec. Our museum holds original pieces, as well as perfectly sculpted replicas made by our talented local artisans, that will take you for a journey through our history. A guided tour through the museum is a must if you are visiting Antigua.
From the mountains of Guatemala to your hands, we carefully select our jade to be transformed into beautiful pieces by our local artisans. We invite you to take a piece of Guatemala with you.

Free tour, amazing history and geological facts! Expensive gift shop with jewelry at the end of the tour, but it all looked absolutely amazing. I'm not sure, but it might have been a great deal on Jade accessories.

One of several places around the world Guatemala is renowned for its Jade. Used in ancient times to the present. This house of jade explores (at the back once you’ve moved through the jewelry shop) the history of jade in Guatemala. It’s free and well worth a visit. A history lesson and shopping at the same time who doesn’t live that!
