Natural Green Opal Tree of Life Pendant
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 sterling silver plated wire frames and encircles the pendant, and then sterling silver plated, non-tarnish wire is used as the roots, trunk and branches of the tree.
Natural, hand cut saucer shaped green opal gemstones are used in this piece. All the opal beads in this tree are a range of mossy green with hints of brown, rust, cream and blue mixed in. It feels very earthy; like a forest floor covered in a beautiful moss. The color is totally natural and the gemstone is not dyed.
The Opal derives its name from the Latin word “opalus,” meaning precious jewel. It is one of the birthstones for October.
Slightly oval in shape, it measures approximately 1.25″ in height and just slightly less than that in width. (not including bail) It’s a lovely size both for everyday and special occasion wear. You will receive the exact pendant pictured.
