Tree of Life Chakra Gemstone Pendant Necklace

This is a circular pendant featuring a 'Tree of Life' design, crafted from what appears to be silver-tone metal wire. The pendant's outer rim is a solid metal circle, approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter based on its relation to the human hand visible in the image. Within this circle, thinner silver-tone wire is intricately twisted and shaped to form the trunk and branches of a stylized tree. Scattered among the branches, representing leaves or fruit, are numerous small, irregularly shaped, tumbled or chipped gemstone beads. These beads display a spectrum of colors, including reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, and purples, suggesting a representation of chakra colors or simply a varied assortment of natural stones. The stones appear to be raw or minimally polished, retaining their organic, irregular shapes rather than being uniformly cut. The wire craftsmanship appears neat, with the wires securely wrapped to form the tree structure. The pendant is suspended from a simple, unadorned silver-tone link chain, connected via a standard bail. There are no obvious signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs visible in the provided image; the metal appears clean and shiny, and the stones are intact. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures. The overall aesthetic suggests a modern, perhaps bohemian or spiritual, style, likely produced in recent decades (2000s or later). The quality appears to be that of mass-produced fashion jewelry, rather than fine handcrafted pieces with high intrinsic material value, though the design is appealing and the construction seems solid for its type.
