It is probably little wonder why some followers object to the idea of just anyone wearing the Kabbalah symbols of their faith as a mere fashion accessory. The tree of life symbol, even when encrusted with diamonds and gold means something more to them than just pretty decoration to be worn out to a new club or fashion show. It is a mark of their faith and their beliefs. It is a representation of their belief system and is something that reminds them of their faith on a daily basis.
With regard to Kabbalah symbols, the tree of life symbol was originally called the Etz haChavim and is looked upon as a blueprint of creation. It is a representation of a tree and how we are all bound together as one. We all come from the same common root and are all interconnected in the same tree even when we are on different branches of life.
The Kabbalah tree, known as the tree of life symbol, is called the diagram of the Sephiroth and is a drawing of how creation came to exist. It comes from the texts of Sefer Yetzirah, Bahir, and the most widely known, the Zohar. It would be extremely impossible to explain without drawings how the tree of life symbols actually look since so many of the texts differ on the numbers, path and even plants that the Sephot actually represent. It is a matter of which representation of the books and beliefs that the tree of life actually takes on that make up the life pathways for the drawings themselves. You would need to look it up to know.
