Bumble Bee Earrings, Enamel Amber Artisan Handmade Bee Lover Jewelry
Item Description
Show your love of bees and your concern for massive population declines by wearing the BOMBUS bumble bee earrings! Unique handmade jewelry, the beauties feature enamel bumble bee dangles, honey amber rondelles and amber Czech glass. The eye-catching enamel on copper bee dangles were individually artisan made. A permanent black and yellow bumble bee decal was added to a shiny white enamel background and kiln fused at high heat. Adding whimsical fun, the bumblebees are shown from different angles. The back of each is enameled with speckled blue glass. ***Please note: even though the bee charms are very durable, enamel is glass fused to a metal. If the earrings are dropped on a hard surface, they could chip.
Complementing the bees, real amber and Czech glass discs are stacked above. The amber is real but has been heat treated (as most amber is). Two types of amber were melted together and reformed: a light honey amber along with a darker amber. Above each is a frosted amber Czech glass disc and a corrugated copper bead. Since the amber and the glass are translucent, they glow amazingly when the earrings are worn. Sterling silver French hooks earwires with copper bead accents finish the earrings. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the BOMBUS earrings are a perfect gift for the woman who loves native pollinators and adores wearing one of a kind artisan jewelry. “Bombus” is the genus name for bumble bee, derived from a Latin word meaning a “buzzing sound.”

Bumble bees are symbols of good luck, abundance and coexisting in harmony. Amber is used as a good luck and protective stone; it is said to bring wisdom, energy and balance. Even though man made, glass carries the energies of transformation, rebirth and communication. Copper is believed to allow the wearer to recognize barriers in the path of personal development. Silver is a metal of love and healing; it is a mirror to the soul, helping us to see ourselves as others see us.
The BOMBUS handmade bumble bee earrings were carefully designed and handmade in a dog friendly, smoke free studio. They will be carefully packed in an organza jewelry bag with tissue, perfect for gift giving to a loved one . . . or to yourself!
