Bee Jewelry - Honeybee Pendant

Honeybee populations have been on the decline for some time now. What has been termed Honeybee Colony Collapse Disorder is still not completely understood by experts, but environmental factors and weather changes are undoubtedly playing a part. The honeybee is critical in supporting the food chain through pollination. Honeybees cross pollinate more than 100 fruits and vegetables that comprise a significant portion of our diet. Our bee jewelry line was inspired by our concern for their declining numbers and we aim to keep the conversation going toward finding a solution to this global problem.
The body of the bee is hand carved from fossilized mammoth ivory, which is over 15,000 years old. This precious, ancient material is gathered and carved into jewelry, fine art pieces, and more. Each piece of natural mammoth ivory is uniquely colored due to the earth’s mineral composition, creating a truly one of a kind piece of jewelry.
