Handcrafted brooch pins are like little pieces of art.

Mini-sculptures, perched only a few inches, are timeless mementos marking your journey of memories; a signature of your style.

Slight variation in embroidery, size, shape and color is part of the handmade craft and may be apparent between pieces.

This is not considered a defect but is celebrated as a mark of made by hand.

DETAILS:

Featuring the striking Marbled Orb Weaver, Araneus marmoreus. This widespread beauty is usually seen in late summer and fall throughout the United States and in much of Europe. Females are two to three times larger than males and they are the ones we usually encounter.

The “back” of the Marbled Orb Weaver is spectacular: a bright yellow background with a ghoulish dark pattern that resembles marbling, hence the common name. They can vary in color but often appear more orange than yellow just in time for our pumpkin-spiced holiday. Prior to laying eggs (usually in late October), females have a large globular abdomen that gives rise to another name you may see: Pumpkin Spider.
