Forget the controversy about the choices of gender, Dolce & Gabbana return to propose fine jewelry. An example are these earrings in the shape of bees. Flowers native of Sicily, which become succulent jewels for bees looking for pollen. Each pendant is handcrafted, making petals daisy with aquamarines carved, while the pistil of the flower is made of gold-colored beryl. Bees, busy in their work, they have legs and body studded with diamonds, while the eyes of the industrious insects are emeralds and wings of fine gold filigree. The body of the bee is black jade and citrine, to form alternating strips. But there’s more: the crowning of this refined representation of nature in the form of jewelry, here is a South Sea pearl pendant. Lavinia Andorno
