The tree of life grows on the wrist, but sometimes also on the fingers and hangs from the ears. A new version of the theme is proposed by Les Georgettes by Altesse. The tree of life, according to the Western interpretation, according to some religious traditions was placed by God in the Garden of Eden, together with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (when for a collection on this plant?). A similar concept is present in Jewish traditions, but it is mentioned in various religions, mythologies and philosophies. It is sometimes associated with the world tree or the more generic term sacred tree.

The jewels of the Morellato, Tree of Life collection, are inspired by the image that has been occurring for centuries between religions and myths of different populations. The tree represents the beginning and growth, the biological cycles, but also the growth of knowledge, the Hereafter, nature.

Indeed, a sprout that turns into a tree perfectly represents the cycle of biological life on Earth.

In the Hebrew interpretation of the Holy Scriptures, however, the trees were two and united, but later Adam separated their roots. In short, the tree of life, a symbol considered sacred by some peoples, is not only the sign of birth, but also of knowledge, or a bridge between creation and the Hereafter. The quote in the Bible also confirms this: the tree of life is mentioned in John’s Apocalypse. Furthermore, the tree of life has been repeatedly represented in works of art and literature. Although there are exceptions: according to the Rastas, for example, the tree of Life is that of Cannabis and its fruit is marijuana. A matter of points of view.

It has realized this big pendant that featuring three great branches, each of which contains a different meaning: the Force, the male side, the Love, the feminine side and Compassion as a union between two opposites.

The designer is specializing in jewels silver or bronze, with the addition of tourmaline and amethyst drops. In any case, here is the latest version in silver, tree, enclosed in a circle of bronze hammered.
