Growth, Strength & Connection
Roots that reach deep into the earth, branches that open to the sky. The Tree of Life appears in so many cultures that it feels almost universal.
Chapter I
Sacred trees are found in the art and stories of many ancient civilisations. Stylised sacred trees appear on Assyrian palace reliefs, the Book of Genesis places a Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, and in Norse mythology the great ash Yggdrasil connects the worlds. In Jewish mysticism, the Kabbalah describes a Tree of Life as a diagram of ten interconnected spheres.
In Buddhist tradition, the Bodhi tree under which the Buddha is said to have found awakening is a sacred tree of its own.
Chapter II
The Tree of Life is traditionally read as a symbol of growth, strength and the connection between earth and sky. Its roots and branches are often seen as ancestors and descendants, which makes it a well-loved emblem of family.
Because trees lose their leaves and grow them again, it also speaks of renewal and the cycles of life.
Chapter III
Many people choose the Tree of Life to mark a milestone: a birth, a marriage, a new chapter. It is a symbol of being grounded while still reaching upwards.
It invites us to remember where we come from, and to keep growing.
Chapter IV
Few symbols are more closely tied to nature. We set our Tree of Life designs with emeralds and other green gemstones, so the leaves glow with natural colour against warm champagne gold.
In our designs, the roots and branches flow into one continuous circle, so the tree is complete and balanced. Each tiny gemstone is placed like a leaf catching the light.
