Tree of Life Necklace in Solid Bronze

FORGED BY FIRE is a family business founded by husband-and-wife makers Tim and Melanie Clark in Greenville, South Carolina. Their jewelry uses recognizable symbols to honor personal stories and offer encouragement. They create pieces around faith, dignity and the value of giving someone a meaningful reminder that they are loved.

The Tree of Life presents a branching tree within a circular frame. The maker connects the motif with growth, grace and renewal, making it suitable for marking a new beginning or recognizing someone’s resilience. Large and small pendant sizes create noticeably different proportions, so choose the tree size first and then compare the chain choices available for that size.

The pendant is described by the maker as solid bronze. The pendant material and the chain material are distinct; use the chain specification above when comparing options.

The maker describes casting, oxidizing and polishing its emblems to create an antique appearance. Natural patina changes the look of bronze and silver over time. A darker finish in recessed areas is part of the intended character; it does not by itself identify a different metal. This listing makes no hypoallergenic, nickel-free or waterproof claim.

Keep the piece away from prolonged water exposure, swimming, showers and household chemicals. Apply perfume, lotion and hairspray before putting on the jewelry. Follow the maker’s included care card and use a polishing method suitable for the confirmed metal; an aggressive polish can change the dark detailing that gives the pendant its antique appearance.

Fasten the clasp before storing the piece and lay the chain so it will not tangle with other jewelry. Check the clasp and connecting rings periodically. Avoid pulling on the pendant or chain when removing clothing.

For general background, see the Gemological Institute of America’s jewelry care guidance. Product-specific instructions supplied with this piece take priority over general cleaning advice.

Compare the stated pendant dimensions with a ruler before choosing. Necklace length describes the cord or chain, rather than the pendant height. The same length can sit differently depending on neck size, clothing and the size of the pendant. A useful starting point for a gift is the length of a necklace the recipient already wears comfortably.

Select from the lengths and chain styles shown in the options for this listing. Photography can show several sizes or other designs for comparison. The purchase includes only the selected configuration, rather than every item visible in a comparison photograph.
