925 Sterling Silver Red Corundum CZ Bee Stud Earrings
The bee is the most industrious creature in the natural world. It visits between 50 and 100 flowers on a single foraging trip. A single bee will fly approximately 90,000 miles — the equivalent of three times around the earth — to produce one pound of honey. A colony of 60,000 bees will collectively fly the equivalent of twice around the world every day. The bee does not rest. The bee does not stop. The bee is the creature that has made sweetness its life's work, that has built the most architecturally perfect structure in nature — the hexagonal honeycomb, the six-sided cell that is the most efficient use of space and material that geometry allows — and filled it with the most precious substance that the natural world produces from flowers. The bee earring sets the red corundum — the gemstone that shares its mineral identity with the ruby, the red of the most precious stone in the world — in the body of the bee, and the white zircon CZ in the wings: the ruby-red body that is the color of the most industrious creature's most precious product, the sparkling white wings that carry it from flower to flower. This 925 sterling silver stud earring sets red corundum and white zircon CZ in the bee design using the inlay technique, in 14K gold or platinum plating, at 1.36g. The earring that wears the world's most industrious creature on the earlobe.
