The Jewels
Each piece of Karen Mardis jewelry is hand crafted from the finest materials available including semi-precious gem stones, fresh water pearls, sterling silver and Swarovski crystals.
A piece of Karen Mardis jewelry is easily identifiable by its signature Bee charm. Throughout history, bees were often called “Birds of the muses.” In many ancient texts the bee represents the Mother Goddess, while many cultures, including the Greeks and Egyptians, believed the honey bee represented the soul. And finally, anyone who has ever seen a beehive or watched bees foraging on flowers knows the truth in the expression “busy as a bee.” For all of these reasons, the Bee seemed to be the perfect icon to associate with the artist, Karen Mardis. As a Mother and an artist, the bee reflects the nature of the designer.
