One-of-a-kind statement fine jewellery, these stunning platinum & 18ct yellow gold honey bee long drop earrings were meticulously handcrafted in Ayr, Scotland.
The Inspiration: "The Honey-Heavy Dew of Slumber"
Inspired by an exhibition at the Musée Bonnard and Shakespeare’s phrase "Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber," these one-of-a-kind luxury long drop earrings by British designer Christine Sadler symbolise a world where there is abundance, profound peace and safety for everyone. Three 18ct honey bees with platinum wings rest on an open circle of platinum. Suspended from the circles are magnificent, elongated Yellow Beryl gemstones (18mm x 7mm) in custom platinum settings with protective claws, mimicking sun-kissed liquid honey.
The connection between humans and bees is one where we are the guardians of nature and responsible for ensuring its safety. It in turn rewards us with nourishment. These precious earrings remind us of the beauty of our connection to the natural world. Worn with elegance, these exquisite long drops make you feel instantly transcendent—as if stepping directly into the pages of a luxury fairytale, carrying an air of magic and rare distinction with every movement.

What is Yellow Beryl?
Also known historically as Heliodor (derived from the Greek words meaning "gift of the sun"), Yellow Beryl is a highly prestigious and rare collector’s gemstone.
The Elite Beryl Family: It is the direct sister stone to Emerald and Aquamarine. While sharing the exact same mineral lineage, Yellow Beryl owes its remarkable sun-kissed golden hue to natural trace elements of iron.
Exceptional Clarity & Brilliance: Unlike emeralds, which are often heavily included, fine gem-quality Yellow Beryl is celebrated for its incredible, near-flawless transparency and vivid light return.
Heirloom Durability: Rating an impressive 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, this radiant gemstone is exceptionally durable, highly scratch-resistant, and perfectly suited for frequent luxury wear.
