Wire Trees From The 70s?
My great grandmother had in her posessions a wire tree... It is small copper wires twisted to form a trunk and at the top there are hundreds of metallic gold leaves that make up the foilage. I am looking for more info on these trees! I am 26 and have only seen three in my lifetime. I once heard that they were popular decor in the 70s. My own grandmother seemed to think that they were called "money trees", but I can't find info on them. Anyone else out there know of what to call them or what the trend was about? Anything would be appreciated!

I know these best as Gem Trees. So, try googling that.
I actually used to make these in the 80s. They were always fun but took a long while. There are plenty of instructions online for how to build your own, and although I imagine they are hard to find in shops, there are tons of them for sale online. You could try a crafts website like etsy.com I gave that site a quick look and found some smallers ones right away (like this one:[Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and this one: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location))
