Hand-Stamped in Sterling Silver: “ Time is too slow for those who wait, Too swift for those who fear, Too long for those who grieve, Too short for those who Rejoice but for those who Love — Time is Eternity ” -Henry Van Dyke In the early 90's, I made a tiny book necklace w jump rings on the left side and sterling pages that turned. I made them for years and they were much loved but difficult time-wise as I had to solder 5 jump rings on each one and that increased the prices. One day, I had this idea to make it like a tablet instead.... opening from top to bottom.....and w just two jump rings instead. So, this Tree Poem necklace was the beginning of the line I have made now for almost 30 yrs!!! The hand cut-out tree on the front represents life and growth. There are many nature themed designs within my line of jewelry. I love that this tree was the very first!
