You’ll think you’ve hit buried treasure! In ancient European paganism, trees were a mystical concept alluding to the interconnectedness of all life on our planet. A common motif in various world theologies, mythologies and philosophies, there is also a Taoist story of a tree that produces a peach every three thousand years. The one who eats the fruit receives immortality. Whatever metaphor you relate to, our Tree of Life Ring, hand-carved by jewelry designer Rebecca Scotts of Boulder, Co., is sure to please. Cast in sterling silver and oxidized to bring out the wonderful detail.
