Fully hallmarked, with maker’s mark H\u0026amp;M, it has a strong sense of authenticity and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"322\" data-end=\"588\"\u003eThe bee is finely modelled, with softly textured wings and a gently ridged body that catches the light. There is a real attention to detail, from the delicate veining in the wings to the shaping of the legs, giving it a lifelike quality without feeling overworked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"590\" data-end=\"736\"\u003eThe warm tone of the 15ct gold adds to its appeal, giving the piece a rich, mellow glow that works particularly well with the naturalistic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"738\" data-end=\"1114\"\u003eIn Victorian jewellery, the bee carried layered meaning. It was a symbol of industry, devotion and loyalty, often associated with those who worked with purpose and care. There is also a long-standing connection to community and home, reflecting the structure of the hive. For some, it held a more personal sentiment being a token of dedication, or a reminder of constancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1250\"\u003eEasy to wear and full of character, it is a piece that works just as well on a lapel or knit as it would have done over a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkin and Gerrish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56966596886901,"sku":"140M","price":1275.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3428\/6475\/files\/victorian-15ct-gold-bee-brooch-4282835.jpg?v=1774315767","url":"https:\/\/parkinandgerrish.com\/en-ch\/products\/victorian-15ct-gold-bee-brooch","provider":"Parkin and Gerrish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
