Vintage Gold Tone Bee Ring with Rhinestones

Description
A 1990s statement ring with a rhinestone bee resting on a wide band of open honeycomb. The bee's body is set in clear pavé stones, with green rhinestone eyes and finely veined gold-tone wings that lift from the surface. The pierced cells of the band let light and skin show through, as if the bee had just landed on the comb. Bold in scale but smooth inside, it wears comfortably as a single focal piece.

Materials
Gold-tone base metal, rhinestones
