From immortality to the interconnectedness of earth's creatures, the Tree of Life has many meanings in many cultures. This necklace design brings attention to the Tree of Life pendant at its center, which is accented with floral and abstract Venetian glass beads.

Attach the TierraCast® antique silver Tree of Life pendant to the TierraCast® antique silver oasis bail using the sterling silver open jump ring.

Unscrew the loop end of the 20-inch 3mm leather necklace.
