The tree of life is a mystical and magical tree that is well known in many cultures. It represents our connection to all things -- earth, air, water, fire. In Celtic culture, trees were the centre of all that occurred -- the absence of trees would be the absence of life. In Christian tradition, eating from the tree of life is said to grant immortality. In Norse mythology, the tree of life, or Yggdrasil, binds together all realms of existence. This ancient tree represents our connection to our ancestors and also of our individuality. The stages of a tree's growth through the year mirrors that of the cycle of life, similar to the eternal life/re-birth traditions in many religions.

Every part of the pendant is lovingly and thoughtfully handcrafted in my studio. It takes several hours of craftmanship to create each one of these sacred trees. The necklace will arrive beautifully packaged with an explanation of the symbolism of the tree of life. This is a special and unique gift that won't be found anywhere else.

I create with the intention of feeling magic, and sharing that magic with you. I know that when you open the box to see this stunning piece of jewelry, you'll have a moment of magic.

★ ORDERING YOUR NECKLACE ★

METAL COLOR

The pendant is available in bare copper, sterling silver fill, or sterling silver wire. Sterling silver fill wire is a copper or jeweller's brass base wire with a thick coating of sterling silver -- it is at least 10% silver by weight. It looks and wears like sterling. All of these metals will oxidize in time, turning a darker color.

CHAIN LENGTH

I will package this necklace with a chain that matches the wire in the pendant. You choose the chain length. See the photos for an example of how different chain lengths fit on different body shapes. If you prefer a black leather adjustable cord, please leave me a note when placing your order.

CRYSTALS

This pendant is available in Swarovski birthstone colors. I use genuine Swarovski crystal bicones. See the photos for colours. If you you'd like a color that you don't see listed -- please contact me -- I have some other colors available. If you wish to purchase this pendant in a different birthstone, check the links below.

★ JEWELRY INFORMATION & CARE ★

- The pendant is handmade in my studio from wire and genuine Swarovski crystals.
- The pendant is 1" wide and 1.5 inches long, including the bail.
- Always remove your jewelry before showering, bathing or sleeping.
- Your jewelry can be cleaned with a soft cloth. A small polishing cloth is provided with your set.
- Over time, the wire will tarnish and darken. This process actually enhances the beauty of the tree, adding additional depth to the trunk and branches. You can use a polishing compound to
brighten up the wire if you wish. If you choose to polish your pieces, take care to avoid the crystals so they are not scratched.
- Please remember that I make buying each pendant by hand, down to finishing the chain. Your necklace will vary somewhat from those pictured -- it will be unique to you.
