A charming and finely detailed bee stickpin in 18ct yellow and white gold, set with diamond wings. The bee has been one of the most beloved motifs in jewellery history — a symbol of industry, loyalty, and prosperity, famously adopted by Napoleon Bonaparte as an imperial emblem and a recurring motif in the finest jewellery houses ever since. Here, the bee's body is crafted in warm 18ct yellow gold, while the delicate wings are set with brilliant-cut diamonds in 18ct white gold, creating a beautiful contrast of tone and texture.

A sophisticated accessory for a tie, lapel, or cravat — equally at home at a wedding or a formal occasion, and a particularly thoughtful gift for the groom.
