Tree of Life Intaglio Pendant

From the Jardin collection, a series exploring organic forms, hidden gardens, and the quiet poetry of the natural world.

The Tree of Life Intaglio Pendant is a one-of-a-kind study in light, symbolism, and quiet permanence. Hand-carved into luminous amethyst and set in 14 karat gold, the portrait-cut stone was chosen for its rich translucency and depth of color, allowing light to softly illuminate the carving from within. As the pendant moves against the body, the tree seems to emerge and recede within the stone itself—rooted yet ethereal, intricate yet calming.

Across cultures and throughout history, the tree of life has symbolized interconnectedness, growth, wisdom, and resilience. Its branching form speaks to the unseen ways we remain tied to memory, family, nature, and one another. 

The intaglio itself was carved in collaboration with master Australian gemstone artist Ryan Bowen, whose work brings remarkable precision and sensitivity to the organic details within the stone. The result feels simultaneously ancient and modern—part artifact, part personal talisman.
