Description
This amethyst gemstone tree ornament brings a little tree of purple to any shelf, with a twisted gold-coloured trunk that branches out into fine, spreading stems, each tipped with a small chip of amethyst. The chips run from pale lilac to a deep, rich purple, so the canopy catches the light unevenly and looks a little different from every side. The trunk rises from a chunky white base, its top heaped with more purple chips, which gives the whole piece a natural, rocky foot. It stands 11.8cm tall, 11cm wide and 10cm deep, small enough to rest in the palm of your hand.
Because it is freestanding, the tree needs no wall and no hook: set it on a bedside table, a bookshelf, a desk or a windowsill and it is ready. A bright windowsill suits it especially well, as daylight brings out the paler chips. Being so compact, it fits the small spaces other pieces cannot, beside a lamp, between books or on a dressing table among trinket dishes and candles. It is as much at home in a quiet reading corner as on a busy office desk, where a touch of purple and a natural shape soften the screen and the paperwork.
The branches spread out from the twisted trunk into a full, rounded canopy, and each chip sits on its own short stem, so the colour reaches right to the tips. Place it back from the edge of a shelf where it might be brushed, and dust it now and then with a soft dry brush or cloth, working gently around the branches rather than pulling at them. We like it as a gift that needs no explaining: small, colourful and easy to place, it suits anyone who enjoys a little natural colour about the home, and it sits happily alongside other small treasures on a shelf or mantelpiece.
