Description

A pendant similar to this is for sale for $45
Here is the link to it on my etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/177774587…

Okay, hear me out. In a lot of my other works, I’m sure you’ve heard me say that I do not use real pearls or coral in my designs. HOWEVER… because I love pearls so much, I decided to try and find some at stores that sell people’s old things, so that I wouldn’t be giving money to a company that regularly sells them and promotes farming.

By a stroke of extreme luck, I happened to find several long strands of freshwater pearls on a necklace (I did several tests on them to make sure they were genuine) at a thrift store. I am so excited to make such a score!

So let me repeat: I did NOT purchase these pearls from a company that promotes farming, and I never will. They are materials I got from a thrift store that I will be recycling/re-purposing to use in my pendants.

The pearls were a bit finicky as I was trying to fit them inside the frame of the pendant, but eventually I got them to obey and surrender to my will lol. I hope you all enjoy ^.^

Oxidized creations bear no protective coating or false coloring of wire. Just like a real tree grows and goes through different stages of life, this pendant will continue to tarnish and naturally change through the years.

The Tree of Life symbolizes spiritual growth and wisdom, strength, protection, and connectedness. It is a healthy model that inspires the spirit and encourages hope in all hearts.

These are delicate, wire wrapped pendants that should be handled with care. Some of the stones, glass, or shells used to create the tree can break if handled roughly.
