SBEE Designs: Artistry Infused with Nature and Craftsmanship

BSBEE Designs, founded by Bruce Bauer, emerges as a distinctive voice in the artisan jewelry landscape. The brand's foundation rests on Bruce's lifelong passion for art and his professional expertise in pediatric plastic and reconstructive surgery. Each piece of jewelry from BSBEE Designs is a testament to Bruce’s dedication to combining art & nature, resulting in wearable sculptures that tell compelling stories of conservation.

How it Began

The inception of BSBEE Designs is deeply rooted in Bruce’s admiration for the natural world, Asian-inspired art, and the elegant curves of Art Nouveau design. The name 'BSBEE' was inspired by Bruce’s fascination with bees and their hives, symbols of nature’s meticulous engineering and fragile ecosystems. This theme extends to his broader concern for environmental issues, such as the effects of climate change on polar habitats, influencing his choice of subjects and materials.

Sustainable Artistry

Transitioning from the use of endangered materials to sustainable ones like warthog tusk, Bruce’s creations at BSBEE Designs reflect his commitment to ethical practices. The materials—ranging from opal to jet—are carefully chosen not only for their beauty but for their ability to convey stories of the creatures and habitats they represent. Images of polar bears, birds, and sea creatures carved into these materials are often inspired by Bruce’s global travels and the captivating images shared by his followers on Instagram.
