Save the bees! This fantastic antique French brooch is wonderfully contemporary in its quality and design, so it’s incredible to think that it is over 100 years old. An elegant bee design featuring 16 clear green peridot stones in a setting that could easily be mistaken for solid gold but is, in fact, a very heavy layer of rolled gold over hallmarked sterling silver.
Every chatelain loves to see these wonderful creatures in the roses and lavenders, reminding us of our interconnectedness and the wonders of nature. Now let’s get busy…Buzz! Buzz!
