The tree-of-life pendant of this necklace from the jewelry manufacturer Martin Guthmann has symbolic value: for every necklace sold, the manufacturer plants a tree in the arid regions of Rajasthan (India). The resulting forest benefits the climate and is irrigated exclusively from the cistern set up for this purpose.

Making high-quality crafted jewelry affordable for as many people as possible - with this in mind, goldsmith Martin Guthmann founded his jewelry manufactory in 1906. Today, run by his great-grandson in the fourth generation, the family business still produces entirely in the jewelry and gold city of Pforzheim. In the manufactory, rolled, stamped, drawn and cast parts are assembled by hand into small series. Among other things, old jewelry forms and ornaments from the company's own history are incorporated into the design: they are cast and - using historical manufacturing techniques - transferred to our time.
