Bees are symbols of hard work and of prosperity. As the busy bees work hard, they also produce honey. They remind us that with hard work comes rewards. And that we should remember to enjoy the fun and sweetness in life.
Each bee is hand cut, edges filed and finished smooth and then paired with an arc of silver tin a bd tiny black water droplet. A surgical stainless steel ear wire finishes the look.
The finished earrings are approximately .75" (19mm) wide and hang about 2" (48mm) from the ear. These are one of a kind.
Each piece of metal comes to me having lived a previous life--in some cases multiple lives! It is not unusual for the material to sometimes have scuffs, scratches, faded portions, and general wear and tear. If a flawless finish is important to you, please zoom in to the pictures here to look for imperfections that might be distracting for you.
All adaptive reuse pieces come to you neatly displayed on an upcycled card and sustainably wrapped ready for gift-giving.
