€0.00
For sale is this lovely 18k yellow gold pendant. This lovely pendant is a replica of the Minoan Bees, also known as the Bees of Malia. The beck of this pendant is hallmarked with a 750 mark and unfortunately the blue enamel is a bit damaged in the wings as visible in the pictures.
The original artifact was found in 1930 in Malia, Crete, Greece and dates back to the early Minoan civilisation 1800-1650 BC. This royal charm features two bees, heraldically arranged around a bee hive. They are both feeding on a honey drop. Three gold droplets represent a bountiful pollen harvest, and just below the bale sits the crown of the Queen Bee.These bees represent the fecundity of the earth and the cyclical rhythms of life and death. Furthermore the Minoans likely viewed bees as guardians of nature's bounty, their buzzing presence a sign of the interconnectedness of all living things.
This royal pendant is a pleasure to wear and can be the best gift you ever gave to your beloved one or best friend!
