Tree of Life Stainless Steel Pendant

Description

Worn close to the skin, it carries whatever scent you place inside it, releasing slowly through the hours of a day.

The tree of life appears as a symbol across dozens of cultures and millennia, from Assyrian temple carvings to Norse cosmology to the Kabbalistic sephirot. In Buddhist tradition, the Bodhi tree under which Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment became a central emblem of wisdom and awakening. The image persists in jewelry and decorative arts because it carries layered meaning that crosses religious and secular traditions alike, representing growth, connection, and the branching of a single life outward.

This pendant is cast from surgical-grade stainless steel and finished with a Tree of Life motif worked into the face. The body opens to reveal a small internal chamber designed to hold absorbent felt pads, which can be scented with essential oil and replaced as needed. A bail at the top accepts a chain or cord.

Dimensions are not specified for this listing; individual measurements are available on request. The pendant is stainless steel, hypoallergenic, and resistant to tarnish and moisture. It is compatible with any essential oil applied to the included absorbent felt pads. Chain length and material vary by version and are noted at point of sale.

It is a functional object with a long symbolic history behind its form. Stainless steel requires no particular maintenance and will not discolor or corrode with regular wear.
