Each piece is fashioned to look like a silver branch adorned with an oval ruby and a faceted garnet while the pendant also features a freshwater button pearl

A sofa in gray, a gray rug, a little oval satinwood table... and a big fourposter bed.

They are evergreen trees, growing up to 20 m tall (about 60 feet), with glossy ovoid leaves up to 30 cm long and star shaped fruit.
