This fabulous hand crafted 3-dimensional beetle brooch has been created from pewter and brass by Jim Stringer. It would make the perfect gift for any budding entomologist or anyone who likes the quirky and different! A real wow piece sure to make a statement on any coat. When not being worn it makes a rather beautiful ornament on a dressing table.
The stunning beetle has been cleverly crafted from hand rolled sections of pewter. It is adorned with brass legs and antennae. The piece is fixed to a pin brooch mechanism with swivel catch to stop the insect scuttling off.
Please note: as all Jim's work is handmade, each piece may vary slightly from the photograph. It will, however, be just as lovely!
Materials: Pewter and Brass
