Interbellum Bee Brooch with Diamonds and Ruby in Gold and Silver

A charming Interbellum bee brooch, circa 1930, its lively form picked out in yellow gold and silver with rose cut and single cut diamonds, centred by a vivid ruby. The wings are finely shaped and light in appearance, while the striped body and delicate legs give the piece real character. A small jewel with wit and presence, carrying the bee’s old associations with industry, devotion and sweetness.
