Trees are a universal symbol for life and abundance. Even a tree without leaves holds the promise of the coming spring. This elegant pendant uses the branches of the tree itself to create the bail. The tree is created through a combination of sculpture, syringe work and slip trailing. Options include adding a gemstone moon, leaves or other elements to create something that is uniquely yours.
​
