We craft our shimmering gold Artemis Honeybee earrings in solid 18k gold from our drawing, inspired by the ancient mythology of Goddess culture and their kinship with Bees, creatures who can extract the sweetness of the earth which resides in naturally growing things. Inspired by the regal Earth Mother Goddess Artemis, the protective, nurturing, earthy, fruitful and life-giving, Artemis, of the ancient Anatolian culture. These solid gold Bees are our tribute to her and the mythology of another time, one that feels vibrant and relevant today.
Our unique Earring composition features luminous Citrine cabochons specially cut for us to form the body of our golden Bees, a Green Tourmaline Cabochon completes the head. Golden wings aloft, the carefully crafted metal speaks of both strength and delicacy. Gold Earwires, left long, curve and accentuate the form.

- 1" wide, enhanced by luminous high-dome Citrine Cabochon "abdomens" that we set into our crafted bezels
- Pair of 18k Honeybees weighs approximately 6 grams

Honeybees have been our major insect pollinators for more than 4000 years. They make many of our favorite foods possible. They are socially driven to work together for the good of the colony. They have become scarce due to exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and viruses. Please choose organic products when tending your garden and plants, the Bees will thank you, 10-fold.
>>>>>A portion of the sale of each of our Honeybee pieces is donated to the Xerces Society, involved with invertebrate conservation for over 30 years. Learn more about their efforts conserving pollinators: https://www.xerces.org/pollinator-conservation<<<<
