The themes of heritage and ancestry are explored this Mother’s Day, with a tree of life symbolising the lineage of families in beautiful detail. A family tree is a traditional design illustrating families through the ages. It is also a wonderful metaphor for the emotions attached to Mother’s Day, as mothers symbolise the roots of the tree from which their families spring to life. Echoing the upcoming trends of micro floral prints and glittering embellishments, and interwoven with PANDORA’s design DNA is a spectacular, contemporary interpretation of a family tree.
Delicately crafted and presented on an adjustable 80 cm chain, the Family Tree pendant’s blooming branches flourish with petite forget-me-not flowers, decorated with more than 90 clear cubic zirconia stones. The meaning behind the flowers is true love and fond memories, making this hand-finished sterling silver design particularly appropriate for Mother’s Day.
Create a dazzling floral look that melds sentimentality with a touch of on-trend ‘70s style.
