People interested in inspirational and symbolic jewelry should consider buying a tree of life necklace. The tree of life is an ancient symbol that makes appearances in the folklore of many different cultures and has both religious and metaphysical ties. Today, the tree of life is a popular theme for symbolic, spiritual, and fashion jewelry.
One of the biggest meanings behind the tree of life is how everything in the world is interconnected. The circle represents the world while the tree branches and roots stand for everything in it and how it all links up. We aren’t an island, after all.
A tree of life bracelet can be a great representation of connection and the pendant links with the chain and follow your wrist around. It’s also a subtle piece that can be worn daily.
Many wearers seek strength in the tree of life. A growing tree implants its roots deep within the ground, and uses this stability and strength to grow upwards. Think of it as a metaphor for being grounded and stable first before being able to grow and learning to love yourself.
For great symbols of strength, look for bolder pieces of jewellery. We don’t necessarily mean in color but rather, maybe a sterling silver chain statement bracelet or something that has thicker strands to remind you of the strength you have. You can then pair it back with simple silver rings to complete the look.Long ago, the Celts viewed the tree of life as holding a symbol of all life; the roots reached into the underworld; the trunk rested on earth, and the branches reached toward heaven. Celtic druids believed the tree was a doorway between the spirit world and the human world, which allowed the gods to communicate with people.Modern Celtic tree of life pendants are popular types of jewelry and feature detailed engravings of abundantly leaved trees reaching skyward with a broad trunk and firm roots buried deep in the earth. Celtic Christian designs may include a cross on the trunk. Neopagan style pendants may include an engraving of the green man or the image of a woman in the trunk to represent the goddess.Today the tree of life is still an important symbol because of its history and meanings. The mass appeal of the tree of life has made it a trendy theme for jewelry. Necklaces and pendants are the most popular form of tree of life jewelry. The designs range from engravings of trees on metal and painted tree sketches on resin to sculpted metal tree and gemstone arrangements.
