See of Bees Whimsical Jewelry

See of Bees was founded in 2009 by artist/designer Stephanie, a former graphic designer, bird and nature lover. She has always had a passion for jewelry making and a keen eye for design. She draws her  inspiration from vintage whimsy, rustic woodlands, nature and wild animals, creating beautiful one of a kind handmade jewelry that bring a woodland nature to your everyday life.

See of Bees specializes in jewelry made with polymer resin and metal materials. Their love for whimsical woodland nature and fantastical artistic realism stands out in their pieces. Every piece is made to order and has its own unique personality. I'm a huge fan of the  cameo bird brooch and the elk ring, I think they are adoring ! I can't resist the bird face !
