About the Item
The bee has always been considered a rather important animal. This is evident from the presence, or rather, the multitude of representations in art and, in general, in symbolism.
Man draws several lessons from bees. From them we can learn to live well in a community, to enjoy each other's company, to appreciate the help of fellow human beings, knowing that it has value not relative to the individual, but to the whole community. The symbolism of this precious creature leads man to reflect on the importance of teamwork, cooperation and sharing for the same common goal.
To the ancient Greeks, Celts and Germans, the honey-producing bee represented the symbol of abundance and wealth, and because of its disappearance in the winter months and its return in spring it also depicted the eternal rebirth and renewal of nature.
In ancient Rome the bee is present as a symbol of virtue; in the Christian-Catholic civilization of the soul, chastity, integrity and Christian community.
Then in Imperial France it was associated with nobility and wealth. In Italy, especially in the world of Christianity, it has become a theological symbol of Hope and has appeared in depictions of St. Ambrose, but also John Chrysostom and St. Rita of Cascia. We also find the bee in the coat of arms of Pope Urban III Barberini and inside the house's palace. Also present in the Bonaparte family emblem to symbolize a sense of order and zeal.
The small bee represented in this necklace carries all these meanings,
is 18kt solid gold, made love by Italian goldsmith artisans.
Antonietta De Marchi
Antonietta De Marchi è nata e vive a Roma. Ha studiato presso l'Accademia di Arti Orafe di Roma e successivamente alla RUFA (Rome University of Fine Arts), dove si è specializzata in scultura e installazione. Dal 2012 ha deciso di rendere il suo lavoro disponibile all'Ufficio Liturgico Vaticano. Tra le sue numerose creazioni, spicca l'anello "Piscatorio" realizzato per Papa Francesco, oggi conservato nel "Tesoro della Cappella Sistina". La sua produzione comprende anche le tre grandi anfore monumentali per la Basilica Vaticana di San Pietro, impiegate dal Papa durante la celebrazione del rito pasquale. Inoltre, Antonietta ha restaurato uno dei gioielli più preziosi custoditi in Vaticano: la Tiara di Papa Pio IX, donata nel 1854 dalla Regina Isabella di Spagna. "AdTe jewels" è il suo innovativo marchio di gioielli e belle arti, caratterizzato da un’identità forte e distintiva. Indossare questi gioielli equivale a un vero e proprio antidoto contro la mediocrità, l’indifferenza, la dipendenza e l’alienazione. Gli ingredienti di questa “medicina” sono la bellezza audace, la storia che ci ricorda che non siamo mai soli, e il coraggio di esprimere la propria autenticità nel presente, guardando verso l’infinito. Il suo lavoro creativo si affianca a una profonda passione per l’arte antica, che si manifesta nell’acquisto, nella collezione e nella vendita di oggetti d’arte e antiquariato, con particolare attenzione alla manifattura italiana.
