The MINOAN BEE PENDANT was found in the Old Palace cemetery at Chrysolakkos, outside the palace of Malia, the third largest Minoan palace on the island of Crete, in Greece.

The MINOAN BEE PENDANT dates back to the Bronze Age, to the Protopalatial Period (1800 -1700 BC) and it’s a wonderful, very detailed representation of two bees. Are they carrying a drop of honey to their honeycomb? Are they eating pollen together in an
intimate ritual or "bee dance"?

The MINOAN BEE PENDANT is perhaps an example of the height of the metalsmith's mastery of an ancient era - mastery in the process of granulation or faience, during which - tiny beads are adhered to the surface of the background metal.

It is one of the most famous exhibits in the Heraklion Museum.

We bring you this wonderful ancient design in our modern reproduction as exactly to the original as possible (we designed the 22kt gold plate version for authentic color and feel)
