This fabulous tree of life pendant is handcrafted in solid sterling silver in traditional Norse design. In old Norse, the word "yggdrasil" means "Odin's horse". The tree itself is actually a giant ash tree, otherwise known as the world tree, upon which the horse of the highest god (Odin) is bound. There are interpretations too numerous to count from cultures all around the world as to the meaning of the tree of life, but most are based at least in part on the tree in the garden of Eden; whose fruits imparted eternal life. This is a truly unique and interesting pendant sure to inspire comments and conversation.

I have included a photograph of the pendant next to a quarter for size reference. Yes, it's a real quarter (same size as today), but I find the classical designs a bit more interesting than the modern day spaghetti hair Washington :) Pair this pendant with a necklace or chain and find your inner renegade.
