The humble honeybee has been buzzing around for over 65 million years–– around the same time that the first flowering plants started to bloom (give or take a few million years). Rich, honey-colored Baltic amber has been in existence for more than 40 million years, and some pieces carry evidence of the earliest honeybees. We’ve brought these two prehistoric treasures together in the Amber Honeybee Necklace and Ring.
Baltic amber comes from the fossil resin of pine trees that once grew in Northern Europe. These ancient time capsules preserve microscopic fossils of life from a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Since ancient times, this amber has been used for jewelry as well as perfume, as it’s known for giving off a pleasant scent when warmed.
For the one who sweetens your life, this jewelry will hit the spot.
