A bee figurine in gold-plated brass — pavé cubic zirconia across the wings, black enamel striping the body — hangs as the sole pendant on a fine gold chain. The bee is three-dimensional, its wings spread and detailed, its body a rounded form between the two planes of wing. The black enamel reads as a color element within the pavé, giving the piece depth at close range that it would lack in CZ alone. A pendant necklace where the subject — the bee — is rendered with enough specificity that wearing it is a choice about that subject, not simply about jewelry.
