Golden Rutile Orb Weaver Necklace

The alluring orb weaver spider symbolizes patience, taking her time to build intricate and mesmerizing webs. In some cultures they are even seen as weavers of fate, which only adds to their mystery. 

This particular species is the golden silk orb weaver, also known as the banana spider. She is female, with some females being at least nine times the size of males.

She has been carefully plated in copper so that you can see all of the fine details of her hairy legs and pedipalps (the tiny appendages that look like antennae or pincers). Her abdomen has been replaced with a translucent ametrine crystal.

Spiders are ethically sourced, meaning they are never harmed or killed for my work. They are collected after their natural death and carefully preserved. 

This piece measures just over 3 inches long and comes on a 20-inch antiqued copper chain. If you would prefer a different length of chain or leather cord, please include a note at checkout.

All electroformed jewelry includes a copper care sheet as well as a jewelry polishing cloth to keep your piece looking its finest.
