Finery: Flight of the Bumblebee

Bentley & Skinner, jewellers by Royal Appointment to both HM Queen Elizabeth II and HRH the Prince of Wales, offer a diverse range of antique and modern jewellery. Take this diamond brooch which takes the form of a bumblebee in flight for example. Its delicately veined wings, domed body, thorax and outstretched legs are encrusted with graduated, old, brilliant-cut diamonds. Ruby cabochons create the eyes while the setting is silver on a yellow gold mount.
