This exquisite antique 18ct yellow gold bee brooch with triple locket concealed under the articulated wings, is the very best example of brooch and locket combination I have ever seen, and with the enamel detail on the wing veins and ruby set eyes. An extremely rare piece.
The condition is superb.
The Hidden symbolism of the bee is also fascinating, throughout the modern and ancient world the bee is a symbol of wisdom, birth and rebirth and industry. Bees, like fairies, are often considered guardians of the natural world, eternally linked with love, magic and romance.
During these challenging times, giving a piece of Jewellery with a special meaning as a symbol of hope and strength can make a powerful and thoughtful gift for a friend or loved one and what can be more symbolic than the humble bee, a symbol of community, love and hope.
