Looks like another great day on the hunt for you again. I had a stick pin collection before I sold them all. They seemed easier to find 15 - 20 years ago. I sold the collection maybe 8 or so years ago now. They were fun to collect. They're little works of art made of gold, silver and even platinum along with precious stones. I had 16 pieces in the collection. Wish I hadn't sold them all now. The bee stick pin is a great find. The bee has had a symbolic meaning in a many cultures throughout time. There are few out there, who collect "bee jewelry" and always looking for more pieces to add to there collection. Bee Symbols in Jewelry Design

I'm a collector of bugs in general. I had many Joan Rivers pieces until she passed. I capitalized on that investment immediately.

Wow, awesome finds!! The last piece looks similar to Siam Sterling. Except that those pieces usually have the same picture in all the spots.

It's a reverse intaglio glass cabachon panel bracelet, mid century.
