The popular 'Tree of Life" is depicted with beautiful detailing in this round sterling silver pendant with an open design. Tiny beads of peridot add the perfect finishing touch. Peridot is the traditional birthstone of August. 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 pendant measures 3/4" in diameter and is suspended from an 18" rhodium plated sterling silver three bead, one bar chain. Rhodium adds a tarnish resistant finish as well as a darker, rich patina to the sterling silver. See our Taos Trading Storefront for a great selection of designs and styles of jewelry!
