Description
This small ornament sets a tree of green aventurine gemstones beneath a clear, arched dome, so the whole piece looks like a tiny garden on a shelf. The canopy is made of glossy, mottled green stones, each held at the tip of a twisted golden branch, and the branches gather into a single wound trunk that rises from a bed of smaller green chips. Beneath the tree sits a round, rich brown base with a pale band around it, which gives the green something warm to rest against. The ornament stands 11.7cm tall and measures 7.5cm across, small enough to tuck into a narrow space yet detailed enough to reward a closer look.
Because it is so compact, it suits the places where a larger piece would crowd things: a bookshelf, a bedside table, a desk beside the keyboard, a mantelpiece or a windowsill where the light can pass through the dome and catch the stones. The green and clear palette sits comfortably with natural wood, white paintwork and houseplants, and it brings a quiet note of colour to a neutral room. We think it makes a lovely gift, and it needs nothing to set it up: choose a spot and stand it in place.
The stones have a shiny finish, so they hold the light, and the dome helps keep dust away from the branches. To keep it looking its best, dust the outside of the dome with a soft dry cloth, and if dust does settle on the tree, a soft dry brush is gentler than a cloth on the fine branches. Stand it on a flat, steady surface away from the edge of a shelf, and lift it by the base rather than the dome. For styling, it looks well beside a small stack of books or a trailing plant, and as a gift it needs little more than a ribbon and a handwritten card.

Frequently Asked
How big is the gemstone tree ornament?
It stands 11.7cm tall and measures 7.5cm across, so it fits easily on a narrow shelf, a bedside table or a desk.
What are the leaves made of?
The leaves are green aventurine gemstones, small mottled green stones with a shiny finish, and the tree rises from a bed of smaller green chips.
What colours is it?
It is green and clear: green stones on twisted golden branches, under a clear dome, all set on a round, rich brown base.
Does it need a wall or a hook?
No, it is freestanding. It sits on its own round base, so all you need is a flat, steady surface such as a shelf or windowsill.
How should I clean it?
Dust the outside of the dome with a soft dry cloth, and use a soft dry brush for any dust on the fine branches and stones.
Is it a good gift?
We think so. It is small, needs no setting up and suits almost any room, and it looks lovely finished with a ribbon and a card.
