Ever wonder about the significance behind tree of life jewellery and what it means to the people who wear it?
Tree of life symbolism has a long history, crossing many cultures. While it would be overwhelming to explain its significance to each culture, the tree of life has overarching themes and meanings that span across many peoples. A symbol of connection to all things, as the tree has roots that reach deeply into the soil, acknowledging its connection to, and accepting nourishment from, Mother Earth. Leaves and branches extend into the sky, acknowledging Father Sun and accepting the energy that it transforms into nourishment.

The design is associated with both religious and spiritual beliefs. In Buddhism, the Bodhi tree is where Buddha received enlightenment. The Bodhi Tree, also known as Bo, "peepal tree", "Araḷi mara" or "arasa maram", is a large and ancient sacred fig tree located in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, India, under which (Siddhartha Gautama), the spiritual teacher who became known as the Buddha, is said to have attained enlightenment or Bodhi. The symbol is associated with wisdom in the book of Proverbs.

The Nordic cultures believed the tree of life is a magical fountain on knowledge. In this way, the tree of life is a symbol of a fresh start on life, positive energy, good health and a bright future. As a symbol of immortality, a tree grows old, yet it bears seeds that contain its very essence and in this way, the tree becomes immortal, hence a symbol of growth and strength. Tree of Life has branches that reach into the sky and roots that dig into the earth, all of these join into the endless circle of the knot, symbolising the interconnectedness of heaven, earth and all living things.
