And here, the necklace I made for those who wish to carry a secret honeybee through the long-dark months. 

These necklaces are comprised of sweet little honeybees set amidst sterling shadows and built into a simple chain. 

Tiny citrine gemstones of graduated color drip upward from the pendant.

Like wildflower honey of varying sweetness neatly arranged around the honeybees.

Three layers of sterling silver to give these simple pieces weight, to wear close to the heart.  

☀ Chains built to be adjustable between 17” - 20” 
☀ Pendant sizes range from Small to Large, measured horizontally across the honeybee:  Sm: 26mm    Med: 29mm    Large: 35mm  
☀ See the photo of the pendant next to a US quarter and being held for size reference

☀ This piece is part of the Honeybee Collection, which features rich, glowing honey-colored citrine gemstones, real leaf print, honeybee silhouettes, red brass pollen granules, and regal crown bezels. See the Honeybee Collection section for more one of a kind pieces! 

☀ Keep in mind that some of these citrines have some surface fissures, pits, and crackles where the inner textures touch the surface. These stones are very organic and natural. Which, I think adds to their charm! But be sure to look at all photos prior to purchase.

♥ Made in my work studio using time-consuming, age-old metalsmithing techniques. This piece is made with solid craftsmanship and all parts of this piece have been hand-fabricated.

♥ All of the pieces in my collections are handmade and hand-finished, and make use of natural and recycled materials. All items will have slight, natural imperfections rendering each piece unique. It is these variations and imperfections which denote their handcrafted nature and individual character, specially made for every wearer.

♥ To create my antiqued pieces, the sterling silver is oxidize until dark gray. Oxidation is a process that happens over time naturally to sterling silver. Then the piece is brushed and polished until the highlights are lighter and the lowlights are darkened. But this oxidization is not permanent, and will fade in the areas that rub, and stay dark in the recesses. The patina will change over time, making your piece unique to you, and growing more beautiful with wear.
