Description
This little peridot gemstone tree ornament stands on its own base and brings a fresh splash of green to a shelf or desk. Its branches are twisted from fine gold-coloured wire, gathered into a single trunk and spread out into a wide, airy crown hung with small chips of peridot. The chips are a soft lime green that turns paler where light passes through them, so the tree seems to glow on a bright day. It rises from a chunky white base, its top scattered with more of the same green chips, and it stands 15cm tall, 10.5cm across and 10.5cm from front to back.
We like it anywhere a touch of fresh colour would be welcome but a real plant would not: a bookshelf, a windowsill, a bedside table, a dressing table or a desk at home or at work. On a sunny windowsill the chips catch the daylight, and in the evening the gold-coloured branches pick up the warm glow of a lamp nearby. At 15cm tall it fits a narrow ledge or a busy mantelpiece without crowding it, and its open crown keeps it light to the eye. The fresh green sits happily against white, grey and natural wood, and it brings a little spring brightness to a room through the darker months of the year.
The tree is one finished piece on its base, with nothing to put together. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth or a soft, clean brush, working gently between the branches and around the chips, and avoid sprays or harsh cleaners. When you move it, lift it by the base rather than the crown so the fine branches keep their shape. It makes a thoughtful little gift for someone who loves a bit of green about the place, and it looks just as good on your own shelf.
