The Tree of Life Symbol in Sacred Peruvian Wood
This 3.5-centimetre round amulet was carved by skilled Peruvian artisans from Palo Santo wood and then finely engraved with the Tree of Life motif. The Tree of Life is one of the most ancient universal symbols, representing the harmony between heaven and earth, growth and our interconnectedness. With this pendant you hold a piece whose message of encouragement and new beginnings is recognised across many cultures.
Why Is Each Piece Unique?
Wood is a natural material, so every amulet is one of a kind: the pattern of the grain, the shade of colour and the form show subtle differences from piece to piece. You will not find two identical amulets, so the one you receive truly arrives just for you. The warm, resinous fragrance lingers in the wood for a long time and can be coaxed out by warming the piece in your palm.
How the Waxed Cord Fits
The pendant arrives on an adjustable waxed cotton cord, easy to fit to your neck size. The sliding knot lets you set exactly where the pendant should sit. The cord is durable yet soft to the touch, making it pleasant for all-day wear.
What Qualities Are Attributed to the Sacred Wood?
For centuries, the people of the Peruvian Andes have valued Palo Santo, the Holy Wood, as a symbol of peace, cleansing and closeness to nature. The pendant does not burn; it simply releases a discreet, warm and spicy fragrance. You can wear it for a morning ritual, during meditation, or simply as everyday jewellery.
Tips for a Long Life
Keep the pendant away from strong contact with water, perfume and cosmetics. Clean the fine engraving lines with a soft, dry cloth if dust settles on them. If you do not wear it for some time, store it in a cloth pouch or jewellery box so the fine Tree of Life motif keeps its sharpness.
