We know a thing or two about trees, especially in South Louisiana. We live our lives nestled under their canopies. You can't help but feel exposed, almost vulnerable, in places less blanketed by branches full of leaves.
Beyond their shade and the cozy sense of being held in the landscape, their roots keep together the eroding ground beneath our feet. As humans, we know trees provide — food in the form of fruits and nuts and shelter in the form of the 2x4s and plywood that frame up the places we call home. We know they feed and house the smallest creatures to the largest. We know that, in mass, trees cool the planet and create the air we breathe.
We are just beginning to understand how they care for each other. And of all the things we know about trees, their relationships with each other might be the most fascinating.
We are learning there are what scientists call "hub trees" or "Mother Trees." These mother trees are the oldest and usually the largest in the forest. Through an extensive network of mycorrhizal fungi, they can transfer everything from nutrients for thriving to hard-earned wisdom for surviving.
This ring is an homage to majestic mother trees that hold ancient wisdom and continue to carry creation onward.

The Mother Tree ring depicts two bold carved trees on either side of the band holding a beautiful 20-millimeter set cabochon. Also available with Carnelian, Onyx or Lapis.

Each piece varies slightly due to its handmade nature.
*Note: Sterling Silver and 14K Gold prices may vary due to fluctuation in the gold and silver markets.
Bronze first: Our bronze is a solid copper + tin alloy, lead free. Copper can react with the natural acids, sweat, and moisture in your skin. Some people may see a harmless green or blue mark. Others never do. It can even vary day to day based on humidity, activity, or hydration. This is normal and not a quality issue.
Tarnish & patina: Bronze darkens over time, just like sterling silver. That "dirty" look is natural oxidation (patina), not damage. A quick polish brings back a warm glow similar to 14k gold at a fraction of the cost. The trade off is a bit of maintenance.
Quick prevention tips:
• Remove before washing hands, swimming, showering, or heavy sweating.
• Dry well after wear.
• Apply a thin coat of clear nail polish or jewelry wax to the inside that touches skin if you are sensitive.
• Polish as needed with a treated jewelry cloth or gentle metal polish.
Want a lower-maintenance option? Many styles are also available in sterling silver or gold. Contact us and we will help you swap or upgrade.
General care for all MIMOSA jewelry:
• Check prongs that hold stones from time to time.
• If a hinge, clasp, or bracelet feels loose, please bring it in.
• Avoid harsh chemicals and cleaning products.
• Store dry in your cloth MIMOSA bag or a jewelry box when not wearing.
Professional care: We are happy to clean and check your piece anytime. Once a year is a good habit.
