Help needed finding a bee necklace

35 replies

I'd like one for Christmas. We hope to get a hive next year but until we do I'd like to ask dh to get me one for my present. My every day jewelry is silver so think I need to stick with silver and I picture something chunky rather than very delicate. Oh and not costing more than £100 unless amazing
Thanks

I have this on my charm bracelet, but I guess you could just buy the charm and put it on a chain separately?

Sienna Miller has an Alex Monroe bee that she wears a lot. Alex Monroe jewellery is all made by hand so it's more expensive as it takes more time to make. It does have a more hand-finished look to it - part of the charm I think though. I wear his hummingbird necklace a lot. Grin

i thought was being so very original and now both Sam Cam & Sienna Miller have bustled in and stolen my brilliant idea Sad

PastaDiva i quite like that, is it heavy? i want a heavy chunk of bee, which is why i was worried by hearing that someone was disappointed with the quality of Alex Monroe

It's definitely not delicate - as in, it will stand up to everyday wear I would think. Especially since it's intended for a bracelet which I suppose gets a bit more knocked about.

I love it on the bracelet, it feels well made, no sharp edges, wings not going to snap off etc.

It's not particularly big - about 15mm I guess, so it depends whether you are after something larger.

Links of London have a few shops around, also sold by other jewellers as well, so it might be possible to have a look at it 'in the flesh'.

I think it's a lovely idea - particularly as you have a personal reason for choosing it.

I saw your post the other day and just now, received a catalogue from not on the high street.com

They have a very nice silver necklace with choice of either a bee or a beehive pendant on silver chain £49.00

Oh no what have I done?!

These things were not in my catalogue so I cannot be held responsible for extra monies parted with.

Happy spending Smile
