As many of you know, Jim & Sandra were a couple of jewelers who started Beehive Handmade to fulfill the need for thoughtful and beautiful everyday household objects. But, during the quiet, near-to-home days of the recent pandemic, Sandra looked to her Rhode Island home for new, creative inspiration.
As she found inspiration in the stories of the past and the lovely coastline, cities, and towns nearby she began to dream up a jewelry collection. One that would capture the natural beauty and seafaring traditions she held so dear about the New England Coast.
Sailors Valentine is a collection of recycled brass jewelry inspired by the history and landscape of coastal New England. From the rugged texture of an old anchor chain to the discovery of a tiny shell, each piece of jewelry is lovingly inspired by elements of the sea and the history of our coastal home.
