Xibalbá Studio

Xibalbá Studio is a jewellery atelier in Antigua Guatemala, founded in 2012 and named after the Maya underworld phrase for the place where stones are born. It works jade from the Tulumajillo river in the Sierra de las Minas alongside gold and silver, cutting and setting the stone into minimal, eclectic pieces that treat jade as both a geological and a cultural archive.

The atelier produces collections, custom commissions and a four-hour workshop in which visitors choose a piece of jade and make their own jewel under guidance, with no previous experience required. Its Memoria Tectónica collection, made with the artist Laura Spillari, was presented in the Guatemala Designs by Hand exhibition curated with INGUAT for Milan Design Week 2026.
