Description
This gemstone tree ornament sets a small tree of 200 purple beads beneath a clear dome, on a warm brown wooden base. Its trunk and branches are twisted from gold-toned wire, and each branch ends in a little chip of purple stone, ranging from pale lilac to deep violet, so the tree catches the light differently from every angle. More chips are scattered over the base around the trunk, like fallen leaves. The arched dome is topped with a rounded knob, and the whole piece stands 22.5cm tall and 14.6cm across.
At that height it suits a mantelpiece, a bookcase, a desk or a dressing table, anywhere a small piece of colour can be enjoyed up close. The purple and gold sit happily against cream, grey and natural wood, and because the dome is clear, the tree shows from every side, so it works just as well in the middle of a sideboard as at the end of a shelf. It brings a quiet, natural note to a living room, bedroom or study, and the dome keeps dust off the fine branches, which makes it an easy piece to live with.
The clear dome lifts straight off, so you can look at the tree closely or dust it when needed. Beneath it, the tree rises from a round bed of purple chips on a cream ring, and the dome rests over it on the wooden base. To keep it looking its best, dust the dome and base with a soft dry cloth, and use a soft dry brush on the branches if dust settles; wipe the wood with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. We like it beside a short stack of books, and it makes a thoughtful gift that needs nothing more than tissue paper and a ribbon.
