Roses are an iconic flower amongst people, red roses symbolise romance, love, beauty, and courage.
 
Bee’s symbolise many things and have throughout history. Bees - especially honey bees, have been seen to symbolise industry, to bring messages from the Divine, to set an example, to be associated with the soul, and to bring the blessing of fertility.
 
A single dried rose petal is broken up and preserved with gold leaf in a delicate gold plated hexagon, and adorned with a small gold colour bee, sealed with resin. Fastened to a gold coloured stainless steel circle stud, creating these sweet, summer earrings.
 
I make each piece of jewellery myself, from hand picking the flowers, to the rigorous drying process, to immortalising them in resin. As they are handmade there will be difference between each each flower and piece, also the nature of flowers I am unable to replicate a previous item exactly. There may also be a couple of air bubbles in some pieces, this is due to some flowers releasing air during the curing process.
 
I post all orders first class with Royal Mail, in cardboard boxes, filled with biodegradable padding, wrapped in tissue paper. Everything is recyclable and kind on the environment.
