A most unique piece; one of a kind! Very versatile as it could be worn as a pendant, a brooch or a ring. The center stone is a unique very well cut chrysoberyl cat`s eye 

(its low profile and flat bottom made it so that it looks big for its weight and also made it possible to integrate in this kind of design) 

even exhibits a slight color change from green to a slightly brownish-red. 

The petals of the flower were made out of three different parts. 

First, the center and the outside edge were made out of platinum 950, second, the inside of the petals themselves were independent plates of 18K yellow, 

third, what is also used as the shank for the ring mode is made out 18K yellow gold and can open and end up

 on the surrounding of the two main petals, adding a dash of yellow color on the outside of the piece when used either as a pendant or as a brooch. 

The marriage of the platinum 950 and the 18K yellow gold in the petals have been particularly challenging during 

the polishing process as platinum wears off much slower than 18K yellow gold. 

A considerable amount of time was also spent to ensure a nice and harmonious layout of the mêlées to perfectly 

match all the different shades of tsavorite garnets and yellow sapphires with the diamonds. 

The concept of the bee using its dart for the piece to be used in brooch mode is a flash that I had at the moment that the piece was almost completed. 

The bee measured less than 2 cm, was made out of eleven separate pieces using both yellow and white gold with some areas plated in white and black rhodium. 

Particular care in detail was even used for the design and making of the cliquet, as it followed the theme of the relationship between the bee and the flower. 

The tip is a custom made hexagonal bullet cut citrine, and along with the small yellow sapphires set in some of the alveoli are meant to symbolize honey. 

The whole piece was 100% made by hand at the time when I was still not using any 3D technology.
