The baobab is known across southern Africa as the tree of life, standing for a thousand years and holding water through drought, the tree villages gather under. That history makes this necklace a meaningful gift for someone with roots in Africa, for a traveller who has stood under one, or for anyone who values endurance over anything showy. The pendant is 925 sterling silver, with a heavy textured trunk, branches worked in relief and a broad canopy above. It arrives in our suede gift pouch, ready to give.
Please choose your finish and chain length at checkout.
Finish options: Sterling Silver, a bright polished finish across the trunk with the bark texture and canopy detail left crisp, which gives the piece depth. Gold, 18ct gold plated over 925 sterling silver, for a warmer tone that suits gold jewellery already in the collection.
Chain length options: 14 inches, sits high on the neck, best suited to children and petite frames. 16 inches, sits at the base of the neck, a classic choker length. 18 inches, our most popular length, sits just below the collarbone and works with most necklines. 20 inches, sits on the chest, ideal for layering or wearing over knitwear. 22 inches, a longer drop that sits lower on the chest.
This pendant is broad and has real weight to it, and the design is unisex, so 18 inches or above suits it best, and 20 or 22 inches works well for a wider frame.
Every order arrives in a Potiega suede gift pouch as standard. If you would like it presented in our white gift box with a gift card, please tick the gift box option at checkout for a small additional charge.
