Yggdrasil is a sacred tree in Norse mythology, which connects the nine worlds and forms the axis of the cosmos - the world tree of life. Its branches reach into the sky, its roots into the underworld, and beneath it lies the well of wisdom and destiny. It serves as a symbol of the interconnectedness of all being, the cycle of life, death and rebirth.

Olivine (also known as peridot, when of gem quality) is a mineral from the group of nesosilicates, chemically a mixture of forsterite and fayalite - i.e. magnesium-iron silicate (Mg,Fe)₂SiO₄. It has a beautiful green to olive color, which can be slightly yellowish or brownish-green. Olivine has been found in samples of material from space and has been detected, for example, on Mars. Olivine attracts money, love and luck, is used as a protective amulet. It calms anger and nervousness, promotes peaceful sleep, reflects negativity back to the owner. It cleanses the heart chakra and solar plexus, removes old feelings of guilt and clinging to the past. It promotes rapid spiritual growth. It helps with forgiveness, suppresses jealousy and regret. It helps to take responsibility for one's own life. It prevents lethargy. It heals problematic relationships.

The construction of the jewelry is handmade from surgical steel and the connecting material is an alloy of tin and silver. The jewelry is then treated similarly to silver - we polish it once in a while. The more the jewelry is worn, the better, it polishes itself on the clothes, the skin of the wearer, etc. The metal is stable and does not contain nickel or heavy metals. The jewelry can be worn constantly and in water, but then it is good to dry it and treat it more often. The jewelry is hung on a braided, cotton cord and secured with an enlargement knot.
