Blue Banded Bee Brooch Pin

Wonder from down under, the magnificent bee gets its name owing to the turquoise bands that run across their abdomen. Attracted to blue and purple flowers, they grab on to the blooms, fluttering their cellophane-like wings, and dislodge the pollen that helps contribute to 30% of crops in Australia!

This nature-inspired piece was created by a women-run embroidery atelier that offers a modern interpretation of the exquisite needlework techniques that have been perfected over generations. Handmade in small batches, their jewelry is made-to-order by skilled artisans with love and care. Their workshop follows fair-trade practices. Due to the handmade nature of this item, slight variations will exist.

Material : Cotton, Felt, Metal, Sequins & Beads; Hand embroidered. Size : 1.3" long x 1.75" wide. Each brooch is light in weight and gift boxed.
