Amber Carpenter Bee

Carpenter bees are named for their nesting behavior, burrowing into dense wood or bamboo. They have a smooth abdomen, unlike their fuzzy cousins, to help them navigate through tunnels in wood more efficiently.

This piece was created using a real preserved carpenter bee as well as a large chunk of smooth amber. Look closely to see its microscopic inclusions.

This piece measures about 1.75 inches in length and comes on a 24-inch antiqued copper chain. If you would prefer a different length of chain or leather cord, 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.
