The high polished finish and soft curves of the leaves give this tree of life pendant a serene feeling, while the trio of peridot gemstone beads offer a hint of soft green. Peridot is also the traditional birthstone for August. Crafted in sterling silver, this necklace will make a nice addition to your jewelry collection. A beautiful tree of life necklace! The tree of life is a powerful, life-affirming symbol in almost every culture. With its branches reaching towards the sky, and roots embedded deeply in the earth, it dwells in three worlds, becoming a link between heaven, the earth, and the underworld, uniting above and below. It represents all that is true, wholesome, stable, and noble. When you are in need of stability and strength in your life - envision the tree of life in your minds eye. This sterling silver tree of life pendant measures 1 1/8" in diameter and is suspended from an 18" rhodium plated sterling silver snake chain. Rhodium adds a tarnish resistant finish as well as a darker, rich patina to the sterling silver. Visit our Taos Trading Storefront for a great selection of jewelry designs and styles.
