This little reversible brass bee necklace is one of my more recent pieces and she holds a hidden secret. Her steamy underbelly hints at magical clockwork that might power her iridescent wings to keep her aloft.
Her creation was very involved; I first enamelled the bee iridescent for her wings and her body in black to highlight the Horological collage of vintage watch gears, which are intricately arranged to represent her clockworks. The entire underside is sealed in stages to protect the delicate work in this unique and wearable piece of Steampunk Jewelry.
This piece is currently listed for sale in my etsy shop and I was fortunate to have the Bee recently featured on their front page!
