This is a very pretty, dainty necklace perfect for any girl's birthday gift. It's light and comes in it's own fabric pouch inside a small jewelry gift box. The pattern of the tree is pretty subtle. Most people will not know what it symbolizes just by looking at it. The Tree of Life is to some a religious symbol - this should be taken into account when deciding if the recipient might wear it. There are many different interpretations of the Tree of Life, but in general it symbolizes the connection of heaven, Earth, and sometimes the underworld.

I really like this little necklace. The only thing that made me pause is it's size. The medallion is the same size as a nickel. I thought when ordering it would be bigger- like quarter size. It is more of a cute, elegant necklace than a big, prominent fashion statement. The chain is thin and long enough to fit a variety of necks.
