BLUE BANDED BEES!!!

Introducing the Blue Banded Bee (Amegilla cingulata), which can be found along the coast and inland of New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory, as well as South Australia and Western Australia.

These are a smaller statement style earring, which are super lightweight, have 3 x 3 dimensional curved shells that wiggle, and have intricate hand-cut wings with long legs.

They are approximately 40mm tall and 40mm wide, including the shepherd hook.

Featuring a blue car vinyl body, this beetle captures my love of weird and wonderful insects. The bee's blue stripes are so fascinating and set it apart from all other bees.

Made from recycled brass, sterling silver, stainless steel, and car vinyl.

 

Jewellery Care:

Here are some ways to keep your Blue Banded Bee in great condition!

- Hold your earrings by the shepherd hooks, especially when putting them on and off. 

- Try not to touch the vinyl or patina if you can.  The beetle's abdomen has a black patina, which can wear off if rubbed or cleaned.  The blue vinyl underneath is considered to be highly durable and scratch resistant; however, it could still be marked.

- Avoid getting them wet.  It's best to avoid wearing your earrings in heavy rain or in the shower, as the brass and sterling silver hooks can discolour.

- Keeping them clean... avoid using alcohol based products on your earrings.  Use a microfiber cloth or soft cloth.  The brass body layer has been left to naturally age, so it will turn a darker golden yellow over time.  Should you wish to have them re-polished, just contact me, and I can arrange this service.

- Store them safely.  All Meekz Contemporary Jewellery come in its own gift box, which will keep your earrings clean and protected.
