Gold Bumblebee Stud Earring

This item is a single stud earring crafted in the shape of a stylized bumblebee. The piece features a bright, polished yellow gold finish, likely 14k or 18k gold given the luster, though the base metal would require testing for confirmation. The bee is design-oriented with a textured, ribbed abdomen to simulate stripes and smooth, arched wings attached to a central thorax. The size is petite, approximately 5-7mm in length, making it a subtle 'micro-stud' popular in modern jewelry trends. It appears to be constructed from a cast mold with hand-finished polishing. The earring back is a straight post; however, the butterfly clutch or screw-back is missing in the image. There are no immediately visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the face, which is common for such small gauge jewelry; these would likely be found on the post. The condition appears excellent with minimal surface scratches and no visible tarnishing or oxidation. This contemporary style evokes whimsical nature-inspired motifs, often associated with luxury brands like Gucci or boutique artisanal jewelers from the early 21st century. The craftsmanship is high-quality, evident in the crisp transitions between the wings and the body of the insect.
