Honey Bee #1 Dome Paperweight

Under this crystal dome, a single honey bee hovers—suspended in flight, forever at work, forever at rest. A tribute to nature’s tireless artisan, this paperweight turns a humble insect into a symbol of industry, order, and unexpected beauty.

Handcrafted in our New York studio, each piece is made using the time-honored art of découpage. The weighty, luminous glass is French crystal—cool to the touch, substantial in the hand, and designed to hold more than just papers. It anchors a desk, tells a story, and draws the eye like a tiny jewel box.

Backed with rich felt to protect delicate surfaces, and paired with a folded card detailing the centuries-old craft behind it, this piece honors both form and function.

At 3.5 inches wide, it’s the size of a paperweight, but the soul of a cabinet of curiosities.

For naturalists, letter writers, and those who know that even the smallest creature can inspire awe.
