Spider Of Happiness Brooch - Pearl - Kyanite And Hematites - 925/1000 Silver - XX°

Beautiful spider-shaped brooch in 925/1000 silver whose body is composed of a large baroque pearl and whose shape adapts perfectly to the body of the spider. The legs are covered with small black hematites, and the eyes are in kyanite (kyanos in Greek means blue). This stone was discovered by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1789. Known since antiquity for its special electrical properties, it was used as a compass suspended from a hair. The sword of Archangel Michael is said to be made of kyanite. The Chinese have great esteem for spiders and call them "lucky spider" or "spider of happiness" because they descend from the sky. In India, spiders are said to be spread like confetti at weddings. In ancient Egypt, the goddess Neith was associated with the spider as a spinner and weaver of fate. This brooch will look great on the lapel of a jacket or dress.
