The Neptune Collection - Sterling Silver Pendant - Minoan Bee and Opal (23mm)
Sterling silver pendant features opal gemstones on a Minoan Bee. The opal is iridescent meaning the look and reflections change when you view it from different directions. There are three charms that hang from the bottom of the pendant, swinging freely. The back of the pendant has a fine "punched silver" texture. The generous-sized sterling silver ring attached to the top (loop approx. 4mm) allows this beautiful charm to be strung on almost any chain or cord of your choice.
Silver snake chains and rubber cords are available separately for all pendants. Follow the links below:

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!
