Hello! We are Gilda and Reuben, husband and wife artisan jewelry makers from Jocotenango, Sacatepequez. We are passionate about Guatemalan jade and silver, all handmade using materials sourced in Guatemala. We have over 15 years of making quality jewelry by hand and we love producing one-of-a-kind pieces for our clients. While much of jewelry making has become more industrialized, we pride ourselves in maintaining and promoting the handmade process because there’s nothing like it.

Chica Bean is invested in our community’s economic recovery.  The drop in Guatemalan tourism due to Covid19 significantly impacted local artisans’ sales.  The Ministry of Economy and Peace Corps, through virtual service, began working with local artisans to explore alternative sales mechanisms, including digital marketing.  Our Guatemalan Marketplace was built just for this, to bring you quality Guatemalan products at a fair price.
