"The hum of Bees is the voice of the Garden." -- Elizabeth Lawrence American Horticulturulist, (1904-1985)  Golden Queen Bees can be antiqued black in the details of the wings, or left with a light gold hue in those recessed designs. These will be made for you in 2- 4 weeks time. Bejeweled insects, like beloved treasures found in a jewelry box, a bit nostalgic, their stylized essence classic, contemporary and fresh.   The subtle feminine form of these earrings is inspired by Bees association with women, in many different cultures, throughout history. In Greek mythology, bees were believed to be the souls of priestesses who had been in the service of Aphrodite during their lifetimes. In Ancient Greece, at the temple of Aphrodite at Eryx, priestesses were called “Melissae”, which means "Bees,”  Aphrodite herself was called Melissa, the Queen Bee.
