Three Peapod Necklace Competition Winner
The Winner!
After reading through the hundreds of
amazing entries that we received we arrived at three finalists.
However one entry stood head and shoulders above the rest. Sophie Leason from Cheshire came up with the wonderful idea of a
Honey Bee design as a necklace. The Honey Bee has become endangered in recent
years and the massive loss worldwide of the honey bee population is becoming
ever more prominent and deserving of our attention. Sophie put it so well;
“Bees are
incredible! Their honeycomb is built in hexagons, perfect hexagons where
all the sides are of equal length, it’s so precise, just like jewellery. A
great jeweller has to be a great engineer and they have to know when they have
perfected a piece, the bees have had their design perfected for thousands of
years, but now they are disappearing from the world. A honey bee necklace would
fit perfectly into your collection, bees are so small but they make a huge
difference to the world, a beautiful difference. They can be so selfless in
their desire to help their fellow bees, and there are people in the world who
also make that same difference. A honey bee necklace would be a symbol of how
connected and linked everything in nature is, how everything and everyone makes
a difference, and wearing the necklace would remind you to make sure that the
difference you were making was for the good of the world, helping one person,
smiling at a stranger, tiny acts can change things for the better.”
Sophie will
be receiving the Three Peapod Necklace along with one of the first of her Honey Bee
necklace design.
