A 3D bee rendered in meticulous relief against a mother-of-pearl background in rhodium over sterling silver on a 16-inch chain with lobster claw clasp and extender. The bee motif carries layered meaning - it has appeared in royal and luxury jewelry as a symbol of industry, community, and regality, and has returned to fashion as one of the more enduring nature motifs of the current moment. The three-dimensional rendering elevates the bee beyond a flat stamped form: the sculptural quality rewards close examination in a way that a print or engraved motif cannot. The mother-of-pearl background provides an iridescent field that changes with the light.
