The tree of life motif is something the ancient Celtic people held sacred as it symbolizes strength, wisdom and hopes for a long life. The copper leaves motif is fused to a silver oval pendant on an 18-inch (45.5 cm) antique style sterling silver chain. Pendant measures 3.8 cm (1.25 inches) in length by 1.8 cm (.6 inches) in width.

Inspired by nature and ancient art, Tracy Cermak's jewelry design and fabrication process involves meticulously hand cutting, forming and texturing sheet and wire metals to create one of a kind works. Decorative accents of copper, gold, bronze and gemstones are combined with silver resulting in a delicately nostalgic yet modern feel. Tracy uses recycled metals and ethically sourced materials. All Tracy’s jewelry and art is handmade in her Salt Spring Island studio.
