Description
Full view of all three items.I for one really think the honey bee for us, is like the canary for miners. Obviously something is terribly wrong if they are having a mass, unknown cause, world-wide die off. I think if we were to figure out what is causing this then our world would be better off in the end. A small inbalance can lead to a massive upset.
Because I am a jeweler I am close to these pollution issues, mining causes massive destruction to both the environment and local peoples. The best thing I can to do minimize my damage is to use as much recycled material as possible and this set of jewelry is 100% recycled from 14kt jewelry and coin silver(0.900 fine) mixed with fine silver to alloy up to stering(0.925 fine). If we all take a small step, we can all make a difference.

Lovely jewelry and with a very powerful message attached too. I really like the way it looks like some of the little combs are filled with honey. Well done.

Thank you very much. I think something that you may be interested in is the Radical Jewelry Makeover (RJM). It was started by a group called Ethical Metalsmiths (www[DOT]ethicalmetalsmiths[DOT]org). The message is very much about being green and having ways to ethically source materials for metal working.

Thanks, I only eat raw honey, it's amazing compared to processed honey. Anyway the kind I get is still in the wax hive form, completely sealed and I though it had a great shape and was so very delicate.
So with my prior knowledge of the blight that has befallen the honey bee population I decided to create something permanent out of their uncertain existence for the future.

A lovely set of jewellery. You have a wonderful ability to design directly from nature.
