Made in Ireland, these exquisite sterling silver Boru Tree of Life earrings are covered in beautiful clear Cubic Zirconia stones. A traditional Celtic symbol, the Tree of Life (or Tree of Knowledge) has throughout history been seen to represent a connection to all things. With roots that bury deep in the soil and branches that stretch into the sky, trees have classically represented the link between the Earth and the Heavens in many cultures throughout the world. The Tree of Life serves as a reminder that without a connection to the world and its nourishment, one cannot grow or thrive in life.
Celtic people felt a deep connection to nature, especially towards trees. An important part of Celtic beliefs and culture, when they would clear a piece of land one large, single tree would be left in the center. Believing it had special powers to take care of all life on earth, this tree was called the "Crann Bethadh" or the "Feeding Tree". It was considered so powerful, that the Celts believed that cutting down the sacred tree of an enemy would render them helpless.
