Inspiration

For that special someone who personifies sweetness in every gesture.

Delving deep into the annals of history, the bee, especially the honeybee, was a cherished emblem in Ancient Egypt. Legend has it that bees were birthed from the tears of the Sun God, Ra, symbolising both celestial wonder and the majesty of the Pharaohs.

But beyond its regal associations, the bee has always been an icon of love and devotion. With their innate connection to honey's enchantment, these gentle guardians of the natural realm have been intertwined with tales of passion and allure. The term 'honey' emerged from these tales as an expression of affection, immortalised in the romantic verses penned by the Sumerians and Egyptians.

With its roots in history and its design in elegance, the Bee Necklace is not just a piece of jewellery but a sentiment, an ode to nature lovers and the sweet souls that enrich our lives.

Let the Bee Necklace be a sign of affection, a nod to the balance of nature, and a celebration of the magic in our lives. Perfect as a gift for a loved one or as a personal symbol of love and the beauty of existence.

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.

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 :)
