Sterling Silver Honeybee Earrings

Another piece of my bee collection, these bees are a labor of love.  I press a thick sheet of silver into a bee die many times to get an impression, annealing and repeating and then sawing out the shape and pressing and annealing all over again.  Once the details are how I want them, I finish them off with handmade connections and ear wires.  All metal is sterling silver and I've added my initials and .925. They measure approximately 1.60 inches from the top of the ear wire to the bottom and .72 inches at the widest.
