"My Tree of Life" Cork Necklace – Large Stainless Steel Pendant
A tree with finely carved branches, encased in a 5.5 cm stainless steel circle, suspended from a thick cord of Portuguese natural cork: the My Tree of Life is an imposing choker necklace that carries a universal symbol — that of grounding, growth, and the connection between earth and sky.
What distinguishes it from a classic tree of life jewel is its cord. Where others use leather or a chain, here cork takes center stage — the very bark of the tree. The symbol is carried by the material it represents. And with its 5 cm extension chain, the 47 cm cord adjusts from a choker to a princess necklace as you wish.
Why choose this necklace
- Stainless steel pendant — stainless steel does not tarnish; it is a durable material that retains its silver shine for years.
- Large 5.5 cm pendant — imposing enough to adorn a neckline on its own, without being heavy. The openwork tree pattern allows light to pass through and visually lightens the jewelry.
- Ultra-light — the cork cord weighs almost nothing. Combined with the openwork pendant, the set remains comfortable even when worn for several hours.
- 100% vegan — natural cork and stainless steel, no animal-derived materials.
- Adjustable length — 47 cm cord + 5 cm extension chain. Wear it as a tight choker or let it hang lower on the chest.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between this necklace and the classic Tree of Life?
The My Tree of Life has a larger pendant (5.5 cm compared to approximately 2.5 cm for the classic version) and, importantly, is made of stainless steel instead of zamak. Stainless steel does not tarnish and does not cause allergies. The cord is also thicker, giving it a more assertive character.
Is stainless steel better than zamak for jewelry?
Yes, in terms of durability. Stainless steel resists oxidation, water, and cosmetic products. It does not tarnish over time and requires no special maintenance. It is the reference material for hypoallergenic jewelry.
Will the pendant not be heavy on the neck?
No. The openwork design of the tree of life reduces the weight of the pendant. Combined with the ultra-light cork cord, the entire piece remains very comfortable. You will forget you are wearing it.
Is this necklace suitable as a symbolic gift?
The tree of life is one of the most popular symbols given worldwide — it represents family, growth, strength, and roots. It is a meaningful gift for a birthday, birth, Mother's Day, or a new beginning.
How to care for this necklace?
Stainless steel can be cleaned with a soft cloth. The cork cord can be cleaned with a damp cloth and neutral soap. No specific products are needed.
