Manzanita Jewelry Tree

For Your Artistic Hangups. Both a sculptural objet d’art and a graceful organizer for your favorite jewelry, this handcrafted Manzanita Jewelry Tree by San Francisco artist Nima Oberoi takes its inspiration from the twisting branches of the California tree for which it is named. Sand-cast in an eco-friendly metal alloy, the gleaming silver finish will not break, chip, peel or tarnish. Necklace pictured on the tree is not included.
 18"h. x 12"w. x 5"d.
