The Copper Tree
The Tree with its roots extending to the lower world and its branches reaching the upper world connect us with the power of the heavens, the elements and to each other.

The Copper Tree Necklace started as innocently as most of my projects do! I simply wanted a Tree Necklace and I hadn't yet found one I wanted to buy so taught myself to make them. I actually had enough material to make four Tree Necklaces and the other three went as gifts for my Mom, my little sister and my (soon to be) Mother in Law. I have been wearing my Copper Tree Necklace ever since and with all the compliments I received I started making them using different stones, stone collection being another hobby of mine, and well the rest is history!!
Each Copper Tree is handmade with love from recycled copper wire and gemstone chips. Want to know more about the gemstones?
