Love bees? Then why not add this charming vintage bee brooch to your collection! The sweet, little bee is adorned with pink ruby eyes and a round and pear cut amethyst, exhibiting a regal deep-violet hue that contrasts beautifully against a warm 18ct yellow gold base. Each natural amethyst weighs approx. 0.80 and 2ct and displays expertly cut briolette facets that flicker beautifully in the light.

During the 20th Century, many were left longing to reconnect with the beauty of the natural world after the vast urbanisation of Great Britain. This brought about an abundance of romanticised Insect and bee pieces, decorated with colourful gemstones to highlight the beauty and value of nature.

Designed with a strong pin and locking catch at the back, this vintage novelty brooch will stay securely pinned to your lapel, scarf, or bag. It’s a great collector’s piece for nature lovers, or anyone who appreciates the whimsy of vintage novelty jewellery.
