Amethyst tree of life pendant with natural micro-faceted rondelles hand wire wrapped in silver wire forming a beautiful artisan Tree of Life pendant. Amethyst is the birthstone of February.
The Tree of Life is a concept that's been featured in myth, story and legend literally all around the world. Since ancient times, people have used variations on the theme. Connecting all things - the realms of the spirit, the physical, the Divine and the mundane - the roots of the Tree and the branches touch all things and bring them together in harmony.
This pendant is handmade using painstaking wire-wrapping techniques. Hand hammered non-tarnish, sterling silver plated wire frames and encircles the pendant, and is then used as the roots, trunk and branches of the tree.
Amethyst derives it's name from a Greek word meaning "without drunkenness" because it was believed to protect the wearer from poisons. Amethyst is a semi-precious gemstone and is a very powerful stone being used for insomnia, protection, wisdom and healing. Amethyst is also traditionally associated with royalty and people of great wealth.
Measuring approximately 1.26" in diameter (not including bail), it's a lovely size both for everyday and special occasion wear.
Chain is optional from drop-down menu above.
A lovely gift for someone who is born in February or who just loves the color of royalty. Amethyst is a gorgeous stone and makes for a striking piece when worn!
