Tree of Life Sun Spiral Necklace, Rose Quartz Rustic Handmade Jewelry

The unique "Arburu de Vita" handmade necklace features a handmade Tree of Life pendant and faceted rose quartz nuggets - symbolic jewelry for women.

Stunning with its artisan handmade, hand painted tree of life pendant and faceted pink rose quartz nugget gemstones, the one of a kind ARBURU DE VITA necklace is a beauty you’ll want to wear over and over again. The eye catching necklace features a rustic pendant created from off-white polymer clay. Borrowing on an ancient symbol found through the history of mankind, a Tree of Life design with leaves and a spiral shaped root is raised against the background. Added above the tree is a hand formed rayed sun. Hand painted in rich colors of aqua turquoise, pink, lavender, purple and bits of brown, the colors settled into the recessed areas and the “cracks.” To add a rustic vibe, the Tree of Life pendant was lightly sanded with fine grit sandpaper on the tree and around the edges to let bits of the off-white base clay to show through. The back is also painted. To perfectly complement the Tree of Life pendant, faceted rose quartz nuggets were used. The colors shade from a pale pastel pink to a medium pink; some nuggets are translucent while some nuggets are opaque. For the most part, the nuggets are longer than wider, and, since they were hand cut, each nugget is different, adding wonderful texture to the necklace. Because the rose quartz nuggets are faceted, unexpected sparkle is added at each movement when the necklace is worn. So the necklace drapes beautifully when worn, each nugget is separated from its neighbor by a small sterling silver bead adding bits of silver glow. A sleek sterling silver toggle clasp set finishes the design. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique ARBURU DE VITA necklace is a perfect gift for the woman who loves the symbolism of a Tree of Life and adores wearing one of a kind designer jewelry. “Arburu de vita” is Corsican for “tree of life.”
