Category: Jewelry

Materials

Silver plated copper wire (18 ga and 22 ga), blue lace agate chips, blue chalcedony beads, Celtic knot spacers, blue Swarovski crystal

What was your inspiration?

My initial inspiration was a challenge to myself last year on a snow day. I saw a tree pendant in a magazine and wondered if I could do it. I looked up the information (on Google, of course), found directions for 2 or 3 styles, and started playing.

What are you most proud of?

I'm most proud of the fact that the trees are all so unique and that is what people love about them.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have fun! Google the directions. Give it a shot and then modify the directions to work FOR you! Start cheap, too. Sterling silver is pricey!

This one is sold, sorry. One of my co-workers saw it the other day and snatched it.

You can google tutorials for tree of life pendants, which is what I did. There are step by step videos out there. One difference with mine is I start wrapping at the bottom instead of the top.
