Bee Necklace in 18ct Solid Gold – A Talisman of Power, Beauty & Devotion

The Bee Necklace in 18ct solid gold is a luxurious ode to nature’s quiet powerhouse - a symbol of resilience, unity, and sweetness across the ages.

Handcrafted in London from recycled 18ct gold (available in yellow, rose, or white), this pendant carries ancient meaning. In Egyptian mythology, bees were said to be born from the tears of Ra, the sun god - sacred creatures worn by pharaohs as emblems of power, order, and divine purpose.

Beyond myth, the bee has always stood for love and connection. From the world’s earliest love poetry to today’s talismans, “honey” has endured as one of the oldest words of affection.

A meaningful gift or modern heirloom, the Bee Necklace in 18ct gold is designed to be cherished for generations - a quiet reminder of what matters most.

Inspiration

More than a symbol of sovereignty, the bee has always been a talisman of love and devotion. In jewellery, the bee pendant carries centuries of meaning - guardianship, unity, and the quiet magic of connection. The honey they create has sweetened love poetry for millennia, giving rise to “honey” as one of the world’s oldest terms of endearment, from Sumerian to Egyptian verse.

Precious Metals & Responsibility

All of the Silver and Gold is recycled. 

18ct Yellow Gold : (750 parts of Gold per thousand)

9ct Yellow Gold : (375 parts of Gold per thousand)

Yellow Gold is alloyed with copper and silver to strengthen and give it longevity.

The shade of the Gold depends on the Gold content. Therefore, the 18ct Yellow colour is richer than the paler Yellow Gold.

Sterling Silver: 925 hallmarked Sterling Silver

Gold Vermeil: a layer of 18ct Gold Plate of at least 2.5 microns over the top of Sterling Silver.

Gold Vermeil is a layer of 18ct Gold Plate that will eventually wear away over time.

The speed of this wear is affected by elements such as being exposed to water, heat, chlorine, natural body oils, products and perfumes.

I know it’s tempting to wear your jewellery while swimming, showering or at the gym, but it should be avoided.

And it’s best to put your jewellery on after applying your make-up and lovely scent.

With all of my Bianca Jones jewellery,  I believe in creating forever heirlooms, putting people and the planet first. My pieces are either made straight into metal, hand-carved in wax or using CAD and cast through the ancient process of lost-wax-casting locally here in the UK. All of the Silver and Gold is recycled. And each piece is hand-finished with care and love.

Reviews

  • I wear my beautiful necklace, made by Bianca, every single day. It’s simple but also a stand out piece and hugely sentimental as it’s engraved with my children’s initials and their birthstone. It looks the same as the day it arrived in the most wonderful packaging. Bianca designed exactly what I had envisioned and the whole process was seamless. She understands that impeccable service is imperative to the experience of ordering something that is designed to bring you joy.

  • Bianca created me a beautiful bespoke necklace with my children’s initials. I love her jewellery, I have bought several pieces before and always recommend her to friends. Delicate pieces beautifully made. Love her style and the quality is amazing!

    Tessa McGinness
  • Bianca makes beautiful, stunning jewellery but what makes her really wonderful is the kindness and thoughtfulness she shows when you need any assistance deciding what to purchase. Excellent service from start to finish and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. This wasn’t my first piece from Bianca and it won’t be my last. Classic and timeless they will all last me a lifetime. Thank you so much!

    Nicola Hunter
  • Absolutely adore Bianca and her extraordinary work! She crated the most superb engagement ring (piece of art for) my my beautiful bride-to-be. Even in spite of being in Australia and Bianca being in the UK, communication throughout the entire process was flawless. I couldn't recommend Bianca highly enough. Big love from Australia! ♡

    Brodie Dear
  • Beautifully designed and created jewellery. Bianca helped me throughout the process to get the design right and ensured that everything was perfect. Bianca even followed up after I had received the necklace to make sure the recipient was happy with it! Gorgeous jewellery and personal service.

    Joe Laing
  • Bianca has made several pieces of jewellery for me and my partner. My first was a beautiful gold bee necklace which I literally never take off! She then made a signet ring for my partner and my engagement ring. Recently I found a special necklace I'd lost and Bianca redipped it for me and brought it back to life. She is so friendly and accomodating, we wouldn't go anywhere else now! Thank you, Bianca!

    Myriam Osterley
  • Bianca was an absolute pleasure to deal with...and my engraved compass charm bracelet is simply beautiful. It has become a very treasured possession. The communication with Bianca was excellent and ensured the bracelet was exactly as I wanted. I could not be happier with it and definitely hope to treat myself to more of her very special jewellery in the future!

    Fiona Shearer
  • Purchased one of Bianca’s necklaces as a gift for a friend and it was perfect! Such a beautiful piece and Bianca went above and beyond to get it to me in time for the special occasion. Would highly recommend! Thank you again Bianca.

    Lillie G
  • I first stumbled across Bianca's work a couple of years ago when i was looking for a Bee necklace for my partners birthday - not only did she create the perfect design for me, she was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the whole procees. Since then I commisioned her to make my partners engagement ring and I/we couldnt have been happier with the results! The ring is exactly how i imagined it and get's so many comments when people see it - Bianca even kindly re-sized it without any fuss after i managed to get the measurements frighteningly wrong - Highly reccomended :)
