Scottish Botanical Amulet - Cypress Spirit with Amazonite

Part of the Scottish Botanical Amulet collection, this one-of-a-kind piece was created using real cypress foliage gathered in Scotland and paired with a soft blue-green Amazonite bead. Through the process of copper electroforming, the delicate evergreen branch has been permanently preserved in copper, capturing every tiny detail of its natural form. Handcrafted in my small studio in rural Scotland, this pendant celebrates the quiet wisdom of the forest and the beauty found in simplicity.

The graceful cypress branch hangs beneath a circular copper frame holding a natural Amazonite bead, creating a design that I wanted to feel balanced and deeply connected to nature. Suspended from a copper-coloured steel chain, this piece is lightweight, comfortable to wear, and perfect for those drawn to botanical jewellery with meaningful symbolism.

Symbolism of Cypress

The cypress tree has long been regarded as a symbol of endurance, wisdom, and spiritual strength. As an evergreen tree that remains vibrant throughout the changing seasons, it reminds us of the quiet resilience that carries us through life's challenges.

Across many traditions, cypress trees were planted near sacred sites, ancient pathways, and places of remembrance. Their upright growth and year-round greenery made them symbols of continuity, protection, and the enduring nature of the soul. In folklore, they were often seen as guardians standing watch between worlds, offering guidance and stability.

When creating this piece, I wanted it to represent the importance of remaining true to yourself, even when outside influences pull you in different directions. Like the cypress standing firmly rooted against wind and weather, it serves as a reminder that strength often comes from knowing who you are and honouring your own path.
