Blue Banded Bee Pendant

Sale Price: $99.00 Original Price: $112.00

Blue Banded Bee Jewellery - Pendant

There are 14 different species of the native Blue Banded Bees and depending on the species, the bands may be blue, aqua, green, yellow, orange, or white.

Blue Banded Bees are solitary bees and don’t live in hives. The females often live in burrows in the ground, or sometimes holes in the mortar of brick walls, while the mischievous boys sleep in groups, holding onto twigs or grasses with their strong mandibles. At dusk, you may see the boys fighting for a good spot to sleep, and at sunrise, you’ll see them having a good stretch before they fly off to start their busy day.

The pendant is inspired by the male Blue-banded Bee, roosting on a twig, and features intricate hand-carved details.

Details:

  • 925 Sterling Silver (including chain)

  • Bee length: 12mm

  • Pendant length:(including bail) 22mm

  • Chain length: 42cm or 50cm (pictured is the 42cm)

  • Handmade in Australia

This pendant is made to order and usually ships within 2-5 business days.

  • Sterling silver requires proper cleaning, care, and storage to last a lifetime and maintain its lustre.

    Cleaning
    Use warm water with a mild dish soap to clean the jewellery - rub gently, rinse well, and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using paper towels or tissues. A Sterling Silver polishing cloth can also be used to bring back lustre, but please avoid intentionally oxidised areas and stones.

    Care
    Please be mindful of small and textured details which may catch on clothing fibres or hair if care is not taken. Always avoid direct contact with chemicals and perfumes, skin lotions, hairsprays, and cosmetics.

    Storage
    You may store your jewellery in a box, pouch, or airtight bag in a dry place. It’s best to keep pieces separate to avoid scratches and tangles.
