First up, let's talk about Our Stag Beetle Sterling Silver Necklace. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this necklace is a true embodiment of distinction and charm.

In true Reeves & Reeves style Caroline transformed this popular design with a pop of colour – Our Sterling Silver and 18ct Gold Plated Stag Beetle Necklace is crafted from the finest materials, including sterling silver with touches of 18ct gold and black ruthenium, combined with the different textures, this necklace exudes sophistication and uniqueness. With the option to wear it as Studs or a Brooch, versatility meets style in perfect harmony.

So, what inspired Caroline to create such distinctive designs? As a nature enthusiast, Caroline finds beauty in the unconventional. She's not one for "airy fairy" designs; instead, she revels in the clarity of line and form, creating pieces that command attention from the get-go. But there's more to it than meets the eye – Caroline's quirky sense of humour plays a significant role in her creative process.

The idea of a stag beetle rolling a dung ball might seem amusing, it's precisely this playful charm that Caroline sought to capture in her designs. Stag beetles, with their stag-like claws and intriguing life cycle, embody a unique blend of strength and quirkiness. Growing up amidst the picturesque countryside of Dorset, Caroline has always been fascinated by these remarkable insects, which thrive in habitats like log piles and old tree stumps.

There's a deeper symbolism at play here too – the stag beetle, often associated with European religious culture, symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. From ancient murals to modern sculptures, the stag beetle's image has endured as a testament to resilience and transformation. And with our three-tone necklace, we pay homage to this timeless symbol of strength and rebirth.

As you embellish yourself with Our Sterling Silver Stag Beetle Collection, remember that you're not just wearing jewellery – you're carrying a piece of nature's wonder, infused with Caroline's passion and humour. Stay tuned for the next instalment of "Behind the Designs," where we'll unveil even more stories from the heart of Caroline's creative journey.

Until then, embrace the beauty of the Stag Beetle and let its charm inspire you on your own path of discovery and transformation.
