Diamond 18k Yellow Gold Bee Brooch

About the Item

A demure jewel in itself, this tiny bee packs a large punch with opulent diamond embellishments paired with hidden symbolism that dates back centuries. Since antiquity, the bee has been revered as a sacred insect that linked the physical world to the spiritual realm. The Egyptians had many variations of myths that referenced honeybees born from the tears of the sun god, Ra, and symbolized man's journey to earth from the mystical plane. The Greeks similarly believed that bees were the servants to the gods, due of the healing powers of their honey. The Celtics thought that a man drinking wine infused with honey would make him immortal, hence giving him a window back into the underworld. Honeybees were the catalyst for transformation in ancient times among many other cultures, allowing man to weave in and out of the natural world based on the insects' jurisdiction alone. This tiny bee brooch boasts a voluptuous, glimmering belly adorned with white round brilliant diamonds, approx F-G color, VS clarity, and flanked with intricately engraved gold wings. Two pop-eyed diamonds extend from the bee comprising the source of vision, giving justice to the phrase "bug-eyed". Additionally, the legs of the figural jewel have been carved to resemble a honeybee's pile, and crafted with glorious tactility. This perfect modern adornment links its wearer to the ancient world, or perhaps an even higher realm. We can only assume you will find out when this charming bee is worn... Measures approx 1.1 x 1.4 inches (3.5 x 2.6 cm); Approx. 21 diamonds total. Approx. 12 grams overall weight in 18k yellow gold with high polish finish. Stamped with Italian maker's mark; circa 2000s.
