Overview:

What Is Tree Of Life Jewellery?

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.

Why Wear Tree Of Life Jewellery?

Another big reason for wearing the Tree of Life is to represent links between family. With its stretching branches and roots, it signifies the family tree and the links between generations. Similar to interconnectedness, the intricate branches show that we are connected through ever-expanding branches of family. In some cultures and religions, it also represents fertility.

Great choices for family include pieces that they can wear every day. Maybe a silver tree of life pendant necklace with gemstones for the younger family members, or alternatively any sterling silver tree of life pendant are durable everyday pieces that won't be ruined by regular wear and tear. For older family members like a grandparent, lockets that can also hold photos of your loved ones are a beautiful and sentimental choice.

Growth & Strength

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 colour 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.

Rebirth

We’re all familiar with the fact that trees lose their leaves during the autumn and find new life in spring. For this reason, the tree of life for many is a symbol for a fresh start on life, good health and a brighter future - and who can disagree with that?

For those looking to remind themselves of a new start, opt for subtle pieces you can wear every day as a constant personal reminder to yourself. A beautiful rose gold tree of life necklace will complement outfit choices that range from casual to dressy. Or maybe you're more a ring person, in that case a sterling silver tree of life ring might be more along your alley.  In the end, anything in the form of a simple chain necklace is easy to wear every day along with a simple pair of earrings, if you're looking to double up on the symbolism.

Whether you’re looking for something unique for your next addition to your collection or want something with meaning, don’t go any further than Shiels’ Tree of Life Jewellery, one of the leading collections available online in Australia.
