New “B” By Gumuchian Collection Created To Benefit Bees In The Ecosystem
New York, NY—Gumuchian announces a new apis-inspired collection (earrings, left) to debut in Las Vegas at the JCK show. The new collection was created in support of the declining honeybee population that is affecting plant life and food supply worldwide. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the collection—aptly named “B”—will be donated to the non-profit, HoneyLove.org, which supports urban beekeeping and home gardens.
According to recent studies, including those by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, one in every three bites of food consumed in the United States is either directly or indirectly affected by bee pollination, which is facing serious decline due to environmental factors.
“I have never been afraid of bees. I think they’re wonderful,” says Patricia Gumuchian, who was inspired to design the collection after reading numerous articles about the effects that a declining honeybee population would have on the environment and food supply.
“I look around our office of women and think about the worker bees—who are the female bees—and how valuable they are to our livelihood. Our family gatherings and holidays largely center on all types of foods. What would happen if these things just went away? The effects could be detrimental. We need to change what’s going on,”
The suite itself will be offered in 18k gold and includes link and cuff bracelets, earrings, pendants, rings, and five different bee-related charms.
“Many of our collections are inspired by nature,” says Myriam Gumuchian, vice president of sales, “but this aspect of nature didn’t just inspire the designs, it also inspired us to be part of something bigger. A productive hive consists of successful teamwork, which we demonstrate daily in our New York office. The ‘B’ collection represents our appreciation of these remarkable creatures and our goal is to bring awareness to this growing problem. If honeybees continue to decline at the rate they are, we are all in big trouble.”
The “B” collection by Gumuchian will be available at booth P-23 in the Prestige Promenade at the JCK show. For more information about urban beekeeping, visit www.honeylove.org. For an appointment, call (212) 588-7081 or email myriam@gumuchian.com.
