Amber Honeybee Necklace

We spend our lives trying to create order. We build rules, routines, and systems. But we crave the unpredictable, the excitement of things we can’t control. Just like these insects trapped in amber, we seem to live within a world of order—but we yearn for freedom and the messiness of life.

Harmony isn’t about avoiding chaos—it’s about embracing the balance between chaos and order in our lives.

This necklace is made using large pieces of Baltic amber, each with insect inclusions millions of years old. Real honeybees, encased in copper, are flying everywhere—buzzing around, crawling over each other, disappearing into tiny cells and reappearing moments later. It seems frantic, like nothing is in control. But if you look closer, there's a beautiful order underneath.  The copper honeycomb represents the structure and stability of the hive, and the bees remind us that even in what looks like disorder, harmony is at work.

This piece measures about 6 inches across and comes on a 14-inch antiqued copper chain. If you would prefer a different length of chain, please include a note at checkout. 

All electroformed jewelry includes a copper care sheet as well as a jewelry polishing cloth to keep your piece looking its finest.

This piece was featured in the Brooklyn-based taxidermy art show Wunderkammer NYC in October 2024.
