Meet Arbor Matris 🌳

Arbor = Tree Matris = Of the mother

A handcrafted pendant featuring labradorite, created to support connection with your roots.

My mum always wore her tree of life necklace while we were growing up, I always had a fascination with it. I'd take it just to look at it for hours. She also taught us that our actions hurt the plants when we treat them roughly, and if we don't treat them well, we will all see the consequences of that. It's because of my mum that I have the connection with nature that I have, and this the inspiration for this piece.

A little note about the labradorite:

This beautiful piece of labradorite has a history of its own & it has previously been broken and carefully repaired with a very fine layer of adhesive. The repaired line can be seen from the front, but blends surprisingly well with the stone's natural pattern and the intricate Tree of Life wrapped across it.

The wirework securely cradles the stone and provides additional support. As with any natural gemstone, gentle handling is recommended.

💚 Anahata Collection

This piece is part of the Anahata Collection, inspired by the heart energy centre.

Traditionally associated with love and compassion, this collection also explores a gentler expression of the heart; self-love, emotional healing, forgiveness, and creating space for meaningful connection.

Each piece reflects openness, kindness, and the quiet strength found in leading with your heart.

❤️ Care Instructions

Tarnish-Resistant Coloured Copper:

• The protective coating helps resist tarnishing and maintain colour.

• Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners, polishing compounds, and excessive bending.

• Avoid wearing with clothes likely to catch on decorative accents (wooly cardigans, scarves, etc.)

As each piece is individually handcrafted, minor tool marks, nicks, or variations may be present. These are a natural part of working with coated wire and reflect the handmade nature of the piece rather than a defect.

• Over time, areas of regular contact may show signs of wear as part of the piece's natural journey.
