Jeweled Bee Stud Earrings*The Met Store Sale

Art jewelry inspired by museum treasures.

These charming stud earrings embellished with enamel and Swarovski® crystal celebrate Cornflowers and Buttercups (ca. 1900) by Peter Carl Fabergé (Russian, 1846–1920). Featuring a bee perched atop a golden buttercup, the exquisite confection is crafted in gold, enamel, rose-cut diamonds, and rubies; its vase and “water” are carved from rock crystal. A visionary artisan and jeweler, Fabergé counted the Russian imperial family among his firm’s elite clientele. Both Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and her sister, Queen Alexandra of Great Britain, were charmed by Fabergé’s flower creations.
