Warm colours from tiger's eye and rudraksha
This gemstone tree is special: the wire branches alternate between golden-brown tiger's eye beads and darker, ridged rudraksha seeds. The two materials gently contrast with each other, yet both belong to the same warm, earthy palette. You receive a sculpture that is eye-catching, yet still calm.
Characteristics of tiger's eye and rudraksha
Tiger's eye is a naturally striped stone whose play of light in motion is often called the cat's-eye or tiger's-eye effect. Rudraksha is a darker, ridged seed of a tree species, used in India for a long time as material for prayer and meditation strings. You can also sense the meeting of these two traditions through the object.
How you can use it
The sculpture looks great in a living room, study, on a bedroom side table, in a meditation corner or on a bookshelf. Thanks to its warm colours, it pairs especially well with wooden furniture and textile pieces. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a friend or family member who is into meditation or yoga.
Tips for use
Place the sculpture where natural light reaches it, as the shimmer of the tiger's eye beads shows best there. Avoid damp, humid rooms, as the rudraksha seeds may swell over time. From time to time move the tree to a different spot so the wood develops an even tone in the light.
Cleaning and care
Dust the sculpture with a soft brush or a gentle cloth. Do not use water, as it can damage the rudraksha seeds. You can polish the tiger's eye beads dry with a soft cloth. Do not bend the wire branches and avoid impacts, so every little stone and seed stays in place for many years.
