The inspiration for our art deco bee and larva rings comes from the Asian bee parasite: Varroa destructor.
Introduced to the European bee populations by human globalisation, this parasite can lead to the destruction of whole bee colonies.
The marquise cut natural diamond rests in an 18K yellow gold honeycomb cell to mirror a developing bee larva.
The design is chosen as a symbol of metamorphosis. Much like the innocent mind of the bee larva, unaware of the future self, we are unenlightened of being on the path of becoming something bigger than ourselves.
An unacknowledged greatness that deserves to be recognized.
