Description
This large gemstone tree ornament stands 26cm tall and 16cm across and deep, a little tree of colour that brings a bright note to any surface. Its branches are hung with small, rough-cut chips arranged in bands, running from purple at the crown through blue, clear, green and yellow to orange and a deep red-brown at the lowest sprays. The trunk and branches are twisted gold-coloured wire, wound thick at the foot and fanning out into fine, spreading twigs, and the whole tree rises from a rough-edged white base scattered with orange chips.
At 16cm across, it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, dressing table or bedside table, and it is just as happy on a desk where a little colour lifts a working day. We like it on a windowsill or near a lamp, where light catches the clear chips at the heart of the crown and the warm reds and oranges glow near its foot. Its rainbow of colours sits easily in a calm, natural scheme of white, wood and linen, yet it brings enough brightness to cheer a plain hallway console or a quiet reading corner.
The tree is freestanding on its broad base, so it needs no fixing and no wall, and the wire branches hold each chip in place on its own little twig. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft, dry brush or a gentle puff of air, and avoid pulling at the branches, as fine wire bends easily. Lift it by the base rather than the crown when you move it. It makes a cheerful, easy gift, and at home it looks at its best beside a trailing plant or a small stack of favourite books.
