Description
This aventurine tree of life ornament carries 1500 small green aventurine beads, each one wired onto branches that spread from a twisted gold-coloured trunk. The beads are irregular little chips rather than smooth rounds, so they show many shades of green, from a soft sage to a deep forest tone, set against the warm gold of the wire. The canopy grows in loose tiers up the trunk, giving the tree a full, leafy outline. It rises from a chunky, rough-cut base in a muted grey green, and the whole piece stands 37cm tall, a height that holds its own on a shelf without crowding it.
Because it stands freely on its own base, it needs no wall or fixing, so it settles easily onto a mantelpiece, sideboard, bookcase or bedside table. The greens sit comfortably beside houseplants, natural wood and linen, while the gold wire picks up any brass or warm metallic accents. It suits a hallway console or a living room shelf where it can be seen from across the room, and it works as well as a quiet focal point in a bedroom or study. The tree of life is a much loved motif, and this one makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes to bring a little greenery indoors.
The beads are threaded on fine wire that twists together into the branches and wraps down to form the trunk, which rises straight out of the base. Keep the tree somewhere dry and away from the edge of a shelf, and dust it now and then with a soft, dry brush or a gentle puff of air, since a cloth can catch on the little branches. When you move it, lift it by the base rather than the canopy. Set it beside a few pebbles or a trailing plant, or give it on its own as a gift with plenty of presence.
