Save the bees - Steampunk honeycomb and clockwork bee brooch - Original Handmade Lighbulb Clockwork Neo Victorian Victoriana Jewellery

My steampunk jewellery and sculptures are influenced by the sub-genre of science fiction with its prominent elements of fictional technological inventions. I particularly like the evocative design and outlook of the neo-victorian style. The look and technology of the Victorian era sitting alongside impossible machinery or fantastic creatures is inspiring. I use vintage and antique clock and watch parts, movements and cogs for my creations, along with vintaj brass and sterling silver charms, chains and findings.

This brooch is made from a brass steel honeycomb charm with resin ‘honey’ and a tiny bee bulb sculpture adorned with a glittering hexagon charm. It fastens with a brooch bar

10% of profits from this sale will be donated to The Bumblebee Conservation Trust via Work For Good.

Sadly, our bumblebees are in decline because of changes in agricultural practices that have largely removed flowers from the landscape, leaving the bumblebees with little to feed upon. Most UK species have declined greatly in recent years, and two have become extinct in the UK since 1940.

Fortunately, there is much that can be done to benefit bumblebees. At the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, they work to raise awareness of the plight of the bumblebee amongst the general public. In particular, they provide information about bumblebees and work with farmers to help them farm in ways which are sympathetic to bees.
