A word with B. Bees
We are at a turning point. It is no longer a collective feeling; it is a reality. The planet’s resources are running out, climate change is an everyday topic, and everyone knows that the glaciers are melting. The extinction of many animal species often passes under a guilty silence.
But we can’t afford to let bees disappear. Bees are crucial to the planet’s biodiversity and life. Thanks to their ability to pollinate, nature is perpetuated.
Ten Small Bees is a new jewelry brand where bees are the main subject. It was born out of the need to join and contribute to the many initiatives in defense of bees. The TSB bee was created for this. These are Made in Italy jewels, handmade by Italian goldsmiths, made of 9 and 18 carat silver and gold, and embellished with zircons and tourmalines. The collection is elegant and essential. When purchasing, every item can be personalized by choosing between different options: silver in his natural color, golden or pink; 9 or 18 carat gold, in yellow or pink; and the color of the stones. It is almost custom made.
These jewels are small pieces to wear every day; but they are also unique pieces, recognizable by the small stylized bees, the hallmark of the TSB project.
We use Argentium Silver, a certified 100% eco-sustainable alloy, as it uses 100% recycled silver. Thanks to its superior qualities, it significantly reduces the processing time and resources that affect the environment. It is always obtained from ethical and sustainable sources. It is made up of a minimum of 935 to a maximum of 960 parts out of 1,000 of silver. It does not require any plating. Its natural light and brilliance are even higher than those of white gold.
For any sold piece of the collection, we will donate 10% of its value to initiatives that protect bees and beekeepers (the list of beneficiaries will be sent with the purchase).
