What Makes It Uncommon

Tree Hugger

Britta Ambauen's handmade locket is a wearable tribute to the nurturing power of motherhood. Composed of two sterling silver hemispheres, the locket slides open to reveal the inscription "from deepest roots, tallest branches grow." The front is carved with an elegant "tree of life" motif representing a mother's expansive, embracing devotion to her kin. The tree protects up to four birthstones representing the children or grandchildren that grow from your family tree. Handmade in Seattle, Washington.

I feel like the years of energy I put out is flowing back. Its a powerful time in my company's history. I am so excited for all that lies ahead.

Britta Ambauen likes to infuse the ideas she contemplates most into her jewelry, and hopes her pieces will help remind others of their own thoughts and wishes. Utilizing a wide variety of materials and techniques, including wire wrapping, bezel setting, and etching, her eclectic accessories balance simplicity and intricacy, sophistication and youthfulness.

Much of Britta's work is inspired by the strong female figures in her life.

Beautiful Gift

I loved this necklace. I gave it to my mom with our birthstones and her grandchildren's birthstone. S Special.


Loved it!

Very unique and beautiful.


Perfect Gift

Gift


This was a special Mothers Day gift.

My daughter will wear this everyday. It is special because it has her daughter's birthstone


Beautiful

Necklace is awesome love it! Only problem is I chose birthstone thinking my child would be a May baby, but it's looking like a June one :/


Gift for my bestie

Wonderful gift! My friend loves it!


Beautiful but not exactly what I expected

The design is wonderful. It is exactly what I expected with the exception of the birth stone. It appears to be a piece of dull plastic that does not luster much at all. I am not sure that more shiny piece of plastic would be better though either. I was under the impression I would be receiving a real stone of some sort. For the price I knew it wouldn't be a real ruby. But you may want to consider a different material for the stone (if possible). Overall it is beautiful from a distance. Up close the tree design is wonderful. But the "ruby" leave much to be desired.

Response from merchant

Greetings! Our Motherhood Tree of Life is made with real stones, not plastic. For January, although as pretty as a Ruby, the Garnet is the true birthstone.


A nice sentiment to honor mom's efforts!

Looks great. Can't wait to see her smile when she gets it!


Wonderful necklace

It has the perfect message and is the perfect vehicle for what I wanted to express.


Beautiful Necklace

My daughter will wear this and love the meaning it represents. She is facing the world as a single mother raising two boys. Her definition of family has changed.

My wife is due with our second child soon, but due date could either be May or June. If I ordered necklace now, and need to change a stone in the future, is that something you can accommodate? Thanks in advance

Verified reply from Leslie

It is possible! Another stone can be added in for a $25 fee. Reach out to custom@uncommongoods.com for help.


Is it possible to get a fifth stone? Would it even fit in the locket?

Verified reply from Brandon

It is possible! A fifth Birthstone can be squeezed in on a new order for an additional $10 fee.


My mother-in-law currently has 3 grandchildren, but we expect a fourth in the near future. Would it be possible to purchase an additional stone at a future date?

Verified reply from Marisa

Yes! If you want to add birthstones in the future, you're welcome to send the necklace back to make Britta Ambauen, and she'll add a stone for a fee of $12/ stone.


is this necklace supposed to close and open?

Verified reply from Marisa

Thanks for your question. The charm doesn't close shut. Though the layers hang together and appear to be shut, they are separate pieces, which allows the gems and the inscription ("from deepest roots tallest branches grow) to be visible.


The birthstones I need are March, April, and June. From the picture you have online of the stones, the 3 of those look almost identical with just a slight variation in shade. I just want to make sure those colors are true that are on the online picture. I may want to mix it up and add a different color instead of one of three birthstones then if they are indeed almost the same as pictured.

Verified reply from Jeffrey

Thanks for the question, and yes, the colors shown are a true representation. All three of your gemstone months mentioned are very similar in hue.


Can a birthstone be ordered individually if another child is added to the family at a later date?

Verified reply from Jeffrey

Thanks for the question, if the maximum number of stones does not exceed four, we do not think it would be a problem, however would have to specially requested by emailing custom@uncommongoods.com.


I would like to order the necklace with four stones. When I check out it asks to list which stone for number 1, 2, 3, 4. Just wondering will number 1 be in the front or in the back? Thanks!

Verified reply from Jeffrey

Thanks for the question.The stones are positioned one in back of the other in the order selected by you.


I realize this item has a limit of 3 stones - we NEED 4. Is there possibility of adding a 4th - perhaps selecting smaller stones? Someone really loves this necklace - but we must have 4 stones - how to decide who gets left out??? Thanks!

Verified reply from Paul

We recently just updated this item, and we're happy to report that you can now order it with 4 stones with out having to compromise anything! If you need help placing an order please don't hesitate to call us at 888-365-0056 or email us at help@uncommongoods.com.


I know the item says up to 3 stones - we REALLY need 4. Is it possible, since these are handmade, to add a 4th stone? (Please say, "yes.")

Verified reply from Paul

If you've checked recently then you will likely have realized that yes you can. We have added this feature to the item page so you shouldn't need to do anything special to place this order.


Hello, The picture list of the birthstones shows moonstone for June. But when I go to put it in my cart, it lists Alexandrite. Do you know which it is? Also, can you choose the order in which the stones are presented (i.e. I would like the May stone to be in the middle of the 2 June stones). Thanks!

Verified reply from Paul

We do apologize for any confusion, the stone will be alexandrite. While the artist normally places the order of the stones in what she considers the most aesthetically pleasing way. If you have a special request, please contact custom@uncommongoods.com with your order number and request.
