This unique sterling silver pendant features a replica of ancient Greek Minoan Bees joined together. There are three charms, which are made of a black transparent smalt, that hang from the bottom of the pendant.  The black smalt has highly reflective surfaces, which enhances its color and protects against discoloration. The generous-sized sterling silver ring attached to the top (loop approx. 6mm) allows this beautiful charm to be strung on almost any chain or cord of your choice.

History
The Minoan Bee is considered a symbol of wisdom and nobility. Inspired by an original gold pendant found in Malia, Crete, which is believed to have been presented as a bridal gift to a Minoan princess. It is an image of two bees facing eachother, storing drops of honey in a honey comb. A stunningly symmetrical design!
