Diamond & Ruby Bee Brooch 14k Two-Tone 14k Gold

This modern bee brooch features .83 carats of pavé round diamonds set in 14 karat white gold, with a 14 karat yellow gold body and two ruby eyes weighing .02 carats total. The diamonds carry a G color grade and VS2 clarity, so they read as a bright, near-colorless white with inclusions too small to catch the eye. Round cut stones scatter light evenly across the wings and body, giving the piece a steady glitter rather than one big flash.

At 19.95mm by 23.25mm, the bee sits comfortably on a lapel or scarf without weighing down the fabric. The two-tone gold splits the wings from the body, so the bee's shape stands out at a glance. Brooches like this have long been pinned to a collar or scarf to hold it in place while adding a bit of shine.
