These mixed metal dangle earrings feature a tiny, bronze honeybee siting on top of sterling silver openwork honeycomb charm dripping with bronze honey. In many religions, honeybees are commonly depicted as messengers for the spirits, and are closely associated with the sun. The honeycomb, a collection of hexagons, symbolizes the heart and represents the sweetness of life found within, and in various cultures, honey is seen as a remedy for ailments, and its presence in rituals or ceremonies may symbolize healing and well-being. Hexagons are a dynamic geometric shape found repeatedly in nature, most famously in bee hives, but they are also found on turtle shells, the molecular structure of carbon, snowflakes, and the clouds that form around Saturn. It is one of the most efficient, prolific, and beautiful shapes in the natural world.
